Check our sponsors. Several of them will gladly send you exactly what you need. Most go up two in the rear for street/racing.
IMHO you want a 530 for the Busa. From memory the others are rated for liter bikes down. I dealt with Charles at Street and Track for chains and sprockets, but we have several sponsors that should be able to tell you what you need. I would go with changing the rear for two reasons. Going smaller up front causes some binding and premature wear from what I have read and the rear sprocket is super easy and quick to change if you don't like what your bike does. best of luck. 530 EK ZZZ from memory. It's been a while.

As the front sprocket gets smaller (less teeth) the chain has to make a sharper turn around the sprocket. This puts more stress on the chain and tends to cause additional wear on the chain and possibly the front sprocket as well.
plus two on rear wouldn't be an issue. On a stock bike the wheel base would get a little shorter, but on a 7 over arm like yours it's not gonna matter anyway. An expert will be along to tell you what chain to get. I would PM several of the sponsors, they'll be able to tell you exactly what you need. Never stretched a bike, so I don't know.

i have pm'ed two of them,, none replied,,
i only need recommendation on brand,, JT,, Renthal, Sunstar or Vortex,,
Well it was a holiday weekend and it's just now 10 AM on the East coast here, so give them some time.
My guess ....... 10 links equals a little over 12.5 inches. With a seven inch stretch that's 14 inches. seven on top and seven on bottom. Two up in the rear is going to had to the length. I don't know how much. From memory the stock Busa takes a 112 link chain. So you would need at least 120 link chain to take advantage of the seven inch stretch and more than likely 130 link chain. Please wait for an answer from the sponsors.

So, i'll definitely call / email a sponsor - But until then, generally speaking a 4" stretch will most likely be around 9-10 additional links..? So maybe a 130 chain (assuming the bike came with a 112 standard length) and cut a few links out..? Is it like a bike (bicycle) chain where you can remove links like that..? Thanks for all the info on here guys..!
