I have heard people mention a 520 chain conversion...or just a chain conversion in general...
What does this do for me? I ride an 07 695. Thanks
Check your owner's manual, but I'm pretty sure your 695 has a 520 chain already.
Most of Ducati's bigger bikes come with a 525 chain/sprockets. The sprockets are thicker and the chain is wider. Doing the 520 conversion can save you some weight. Doesn't seem like a lot of weight to lose, but considering the fact that its unsprung/rotating mass, it adds up.
More info HERE (http://www.gizmology.net/sprockets.htm).
The 695 has a 520 chain set up stock.
Thanks guys. wasn't thinking about it for me...just clueless as to what it meant ??? Think I'm saving for some high-mount termi's!
