The Vortex CK4224 is a complete, ready-to-install chain and sprocket kit designed as a direct 520 conversion for compatible Kawasaki sportbikes. No chain cutting is required — simply install and ride.

The included 520SV3 series chain is manufactured in Japan to the highest quality standards in the industry. Vortex's SV3 chains feature a dual pocket sealing system that delivers up to 7 times longer wear life compared to standard O-ring chains, making this an exceptional upgrade over OEM drivetrain components.

The 14/40 gearing configuration (one tooth down in front vs. OE 15/40) provides a lower gear ratio for improved low-end throttle response and faster acceleration out of corners. Always compare OE gearing to Vortex kit gearing to verify gear ratio differences for your specific application.
