Installed on RC 2018. This will be longer than most reviews but want to get all the details down to help you guys decide.
Ladies and gents, the big ticket item on here for the GT family. If you enjoy performance and speed, then my god is it worth it. The damping and preload makes bumps and crests effortless, no bottoming out and chain is free to do it's thing. I have managed to test it here in Ulster on the road race tracks (not when closed roads sadly) and it performed like a dream, ride flows from section to section, cornering is massively improved, I can't fault it. Adjustment is relatively simple, I'm 85kg/6 ft4 so some adjustment/firming was needed out of the box, but all very straightforward, plus a higher set ride height is noticeable for me. Installation is one for one with OEM, would recommend mechanic there to give the bones and links a once over/lubrication and for an extra pair of hands. It is a larger price tag, but it's not everyday we get a company like YSS making a specific product for Hyo's. If you are on the fence, then definitely go for it.
Starting with the quality of the wire work, excellently put together. As for longevity, I made this switch around 4k miles when my stock regulator went out. I decided to just replace the stator as well. (The stator provided by Marcel was a ElectroSport USA stator]
It has been three years since I've had these parts and they have continued to hold up. I blew one regulator fuse(THANK YOU) and that is from pushing the bike to the absolutely limit(6 months ago) on a speedrun to get to an Autoparts shop for a drainplug for my car before they closed.
If you are looking to replace the stock reg and stator I would trust the work put out here. They know where to find quality parts. If it wasn't for wanting to not mess with this again, I would pick up a Shinden set that is still floating around here.
Great item arrived well packaged and quickly loved the little notes that Marcel put on the items like the torque pressure thankyou so much hopefully it means I will be able to get my bike back on the road after failing it’s mot
MARCEL ROCKS!
Not only is this kit is a must have upgrade for your bike, but the support and advice i've got from Marcel is amazing!
You should now that this is my first motorcycle and I really love to make my hands dirty. I love my bike but the acceleration was a bit disappointing. I've read about a tooth more or less on the front or back sprocket, but i really didn't wanted to loose any top speed. It seemed to be one or the other (more acceleration more top speed). I talked to my dealer about this, but I didn't find any help there.
So I contacted Marcel. He sent me the kit and the delivery was very fast (I live in Belgium)
Then came the moment of truth: would I be able to do the upgrade myself? I succeeded with easy with some remote support from Marcel over messenger. His reaction time was very fast and I didn't loose time with the procedure if i had a question. Many thanks for that Marcel.
The day after the installation came the second moment of truth. Would this upgrade perform as advertised? In short: IT DID! The test ride with these sprockets / chain exceeded my expectations .
The acceleration in gears 1-4 is superb now. In second gear i can pull up to 50km/h - in 3th to 70 km/h without going in the red range! The bike pulls really fast now.
About the top speed, with original chain kit my top speed was 107km/h on a steep downhill. Now on a far less steep one i reached 119 on display and gps speed was 107 !!! Speed record easily broken.
Installed on RC 2018. Can't go wrong with NGK, the rest of the reviews have got everything spot on. Can't fault them, great starts, improved performance and great value. Can't beat it.

What a great kit this is!!
Delivery to belgium was very quick!
I'm happy with the result.
Don't have to shift as mutch as with the original chain. Lower revs and more accelaration. And a higher top speed. If you buy this kit you won't regret it!!
Top notch!
Thanks marcel!!! Greetz from belgium
