As the title says, I want to replace them since they're showing signs of wear and also I don't have a complete history of the bike to know when they were last changed. wemoto.com shows me a DID chain and JT sprockets kit but should I wanted to know what other people think.

Off the top of my head and unless I'm going nuts, the chain should be 530

The 520 is lighter, but will wear quicker, the 530 is fraction wider.A 530 would be a little loose on 520 sprockets, a 520 won't fit on 530s, so provided you match the chain and sprockets, it really makes little difference.There's a good video explaining this here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bi6s0ewtUQM
Yep, if you change the sprockets as well, you could fit within reason any size chain, but why?
Yamaha spend a fortune on designing bikes and spec out all the components, to offer the best mix of service life and performance. If you want to ignore that and fit something different that's a matter for you, fill your boots mate.
...and a 4 degree ignition advancer, I've also got a set of Hyperpro fork springs to install.Boots definitely full
I'm not familiar with the 4 degree ignition advancer mod, what's the gain with this one?

Engines are generally tuned to run off the crappiest petrol available, so they retard the spark to give the best chance of a good ignition.As we have reasonably good quality petrol in the UK, this is unnecessary and advancing the spark allows more complete combustion of the fuel/ air mixture.Basically it gives better running and improved throttle response.
E10Is it time to retard again?
