The 532 chains were originally only used by Suzuki, They are lighter than a 630 but stronger than 530. This allowed high performance bikes such as the [[Suzuki GSX-R750]] to not be robbed of [[horsepower]] by a heavy chain. | |||
There are a number of chain sizes in use, and chain manufacturers may have slightly different specs for roller diameter, sprocket width, etc. But a 525 chain from one manufacturer will have the same pitch as a 520, 525, 530, or 532 chain from another and run smoothly on any 525 sprocket from any manufacturer. | There are a number of chain sizes in use, and chain manufacturers may have slightly different specs for roller diameter, sprocket width, etc. But a 525 chain from one manufacturer will have the same pitch as a 520, 525, 530, or 532 chain from another and run smoothly on any 525 sprocket from any manufacturer. | ||
