Premium 520 Chain Sprocket Kit – Hyosung GT125R GT125 GT250
⛓️ 520 PREMIUM CONVERSION | TOURING DURABILITY🛣️
Stop the stretch. The stock 428 chain is overworked on a 180kg 125cc V-Twin. Our 520 Conversion Kit moves your bike to heavy-duty hardware used by 600cc machines, offering sharper acceleration, reduced maintenance, and a massive jump in tensile strength.
As for you 250cc owners , it is not fun being 100 miles away from home due to a snapped china MTX chain!
- 🚀 Optimised Gearing: Specifically ratioed for better “zip” without stressing the valves.
- 🇯🇵 Japanese & EU Chains: We use RK, EK, DID, DC Japan or JT as an alternative. ❌Absolutely no rubbish china MTX chains.
- ✨ ✅ Free Stainless Hardware: Includes Stainless Rear Sprocket Bolts for a permanent shiny finish.
- 🔐✅ Front Locking Washer included: Don’t allow the front sprocket to fall off with a bad old lock, so we also include it for you!
- 🛣️ Touring Ready: The choice for long-distance 125cc/250cc riders.
Cheaper kits on other websites use Chinese industrial chains (MTX/CHOHO). On a heavy Hyosung, these stretch instantly and can snap. We sell Mechanical Insurance—proven brands you can trust at 10,000 RPM. #GoFaster!🛣️⚡
Description
The Hyosung GT Series are “Big Bike” chassis machines. At nearly 180KG, they are far heavier than a standard 125cc commuter. Using a 428 “Moped” chain is the weak link in the factory setup. This 520 Conversion Kit is designed to bring your drivetrain up to the standard the chassis deserves.
⚙️ Why the 520 Conversion Works
Many riders ask: “Why not stick to 428?” The answer is Physics. A 520 chain has larger rollers and thicker plates. While the 520 hardware is slightly heavier, the Optimised Internal Gearing in our kit more than compensates, resulting in:
- Increased Surface Area: Distributes the load better, meaning the chain stretches less over time.
- Improved Circumferential Torque: Our specific sprocket pairing ensures the engine stays in the “Power Band” longer.
- Better 0-60 Performance: Especially on the 125cc, you’ll feel the bike “wake up” between gears.
| Quality Sprockets Precision engineered, no “soft” steel. |
Japanese/EU Chains DC, RK, EK, DID, etc or JT Branded. |
| Stainless Bolts Included Stay shiny and rust-free. |
Safety Lock Washer Ensures your front sprocket stays put. |
| Chain colour will be generally “black or dark grey” | Looking for a Gold 520 Chain or specific kits for another bike? Contact us here |
🏍️ Performance Expectations
GT125 / GTR 125: Expect a noticeable boost in acceleration. While it helps you reach top speeds (80+ mph) more efficiently, we advise against sustained redlining to protect your valves. This kit is about getting there smoother.
GT250 / GTR 250: The benefit here is longevity. The 520 chain handles the V-Twin torque with ease, providing a much longer service life than stock Korean parts.
📜 Confirmed Fitment:
| GT125R & GT125-RC (Up to 2021) | GT125 Naked & GT125P (Up to 2021) |
| GT250 (All Years) | GT250R (All Years |
🔧 Chain Sprocket Kit Installation Tips
- Sprocket Alignment: Ensure your rear wheel is perfectly aligned using the swingarm marks to prevent “side-wear” on the new chain.
- Thread Locker: Use a drop of blue thread-locker on your sprocket bolts to fight V-Twin vibrations.
- The 20mm Rule: Always allow roughly 20-30px of “slack” when the bike is on its side-stand to allow for suspension travel.
- Clean & Lube: A good chain will last more miles if kept clean. Avoid “Sticky” lubes that attract grit.

Bought for 2016 GT. Straight forward swap out. Bike feels better geared in all gears. No massive top end gains but worth it for the increased rideability!!
