Sure, racer guys use 520s. However, they also change out their chain and sprockets every race or two.

It's up to you of course, but I've always been of the opinion the weight savings in the chain/sprocket area wasn't enough to make it a chance I was willing to take.

Look at the tensile strengths of the various chain sizes... No bike runs them anywhere near capacity... The wear problem however could pose issues and breakage without defect or lack of maintenance is unlikely.

Yeah, the tensioner is ridiculously EASY if you go about it the right way...

Also, if the long throw of the throttle puts you off a bit, you can put a Rifleman's 1/5 insert in or like me, I used the throttle tube from a 2001 Yamaha R1 or R6.

I'll have to check that out when I'm less than 6 pitchers deep.
