520 chain kit recommendations

TsaiCo · Feb 17, 2020

Hi guys, just want to get some advise about which brand has the best quality for our v4 on sprocket and chain. Looking to Do a 520 conversion.
thanks

Sprocket Center and the 520 kits they offer are comprehensive. The kit I ordered was about $418 which included a steel rear sprocket and quick change hub

I also went with the V4R's gearing and the bike was transformed! Saved about 1.5 Lbs of rotating mass: Sprocket Center

Did you also want to swap out the carrier as well?

JHTmcrider · Feb 19, 2020

Yes, the stock one weighs a ton as well. Plus the aftermarket version allows you to swap sprockets quickly.

Definitely look into the 3D chain their the best plus rated very high in tensile strength.

TsaiCo · Feb 21, 2020

End up buying this kit. Seems reasonable.

If anyone had this kit. Please share their experiences

Thanks.

Another vote for Sprocket Center. Plug and play. They even cut the chain to the correct length for you based off your gearing selection. The quick change kit is pretty slick as well.

I like the CNC racing sprocket, sprocket carrier and flange set up which I have on my bike with a driven front sprocket and 3D chain. And I also like the AEM set up because it comes in more colors choices and is seen more than the CNC racing one QUICK CHANGE SPROCKET CARRIER 'SEI FORI' - AEM Factory here is their sprocket SPROCKET '6 FORI' - AEM Factory and their flange which you would need to use because the stock one wont work SPROCKET CARRIER FLANGE 'D-SEI V4' - AEM Factory but the cnc racing is no slouch. Just comes in less colors and sprocket carrier is just less visible.

And here is the cnc racing version CNC Racing Large Quick Change Carrier for the Ducati Panigale V4, 1199/1299, Monster 1200, and Supersport

Hello TsaiCo,
May I know why you didn't buy this kit?
From what I understand, this kit came with several sprockets combination sand I personally think it is the most "professional" looking one. After seeing this kit, I now plan to purchase this kit as part of my final phase/finishing touch for my modification. This kit combine with the DID Gold Chain and several Titaniums bolts would look very nice and of course perform very well.

I maybe over reacting, but, I want some product warranty, plus, like to put a search on google and let the hits do the talking.

they support ducati through pikes peak racing, that really gives me the satisfaction of sportsmanship at its finest.

and plus, its mixed between steel and aluminum

the Sitta is great with high tensile strength of aluminum, but, not sure if they tested in "not so perfect" condition. so i hold my doubt for durability...

that was the flick over to Supersprox brand.

Hi TsaiCo,
I just notice that the stock 6 nut holding the original Ducati rear sprocket has a unique shaped nut. I believe this is just a 12 points nut, is this correct?
and I can just use a regular 14mm 12 points socket tool to remove them?
Please kindly advise.
Thanks

TsaiCo · Mar 5, 2020

You should be ok with the socket you have.
