Just wondering what people have or have used. What did you like or dislike.

Aluminum they all the same last prolly about 3500 miles

i just ordered my 50T sprocket from Sprocket Specialist its a steel so it should last longer and it cheaper

silverstunterR6

Good idea
Everyone I know with a vortex complains about teeth breaking.
Did you change your chain?

babyJOKER

yeah i got D.I.D. its prob the best out there...

if one stick of dynamite is good then 2 has got 2 be better i know for fact is not a good moto to follow with sprockets. im currently -1 +10 for my likings it is a little 2 much rpm not really in wheelies but on the street. about half of what ive got now would be right i would still have a little more top end than i do now also with the benefit of wheeling in traffic on short notice without alot of down shifting. never miss an opportunity to showoff shame or impress onlookers

i just went -1+2 on my r6, sprocket specialist 532 pitch stock chain. f-in love it.

i previously had a 45 tooth from sprocket specialist but it was aluminum and i was missing 11 teeth off that b*tch when i noticed it...
i've heard with the bigger ones like 60 and above the load is distributed more so you dont really get issues....
i dunno i only got about 1,000 miles on my new 60 tooth so i'll have to see how that goes.
these one dudes at stuntwars had a booth setup with steel sprockets galore! which i think was an awesome idea, its about time somebody comes out with big azz steel sprockets. funny thing was they werent even that heavy.

I've had my vortex for a while (5 months I think) and I like it.

Wheeliest

oh they're steel by the way

silverstunterR6

Cool thanks for the headsup
Wheeliest how does the the -1+2 work on street your avatar looks pretty smooth.

Wheeliest

works great, could even go up +4,5 more with no issues prolly.

Hitting the bar

babyJOKER

i just received it today...all steel and it aint as heavy as i thought it woulb be

silverstunterR6

Wow thats a great clip some smooth riding. :YEAH
What cage is that a 905?
I just ordered a powerzcage from a guy for $200 looks pretty solid.
I"m not sure if I want to do the streetfighter thing but I won't be using the sprocket till I get back in the game a bit. But I'll defininetly get steel.

silverstunterR6

Idon't understand why someone would be worried about it being a little hevier
Look nice how much was it?

Wheeliest

yeah i got a powers cage.

N/A

Never once have I had a problem with Vortex. Ordered a full setup, -2 +7 with an RK 520 Gold Chain. Feels like butta!!!

Wheeliest

my gearing + some gloves on clearence ran me 53$ totall no need for a new chain either.

N/A

I buy new chains b/c I have no idea how the last owner took care of it. And there is no way in HELL I'm going to ride a used bike with an old chain. Ever seen one come apart??? NOT PRETTY!!! Save yourself the hassle, buy the WHOLE setup for cheap and then you know the quality of your chain and sprockets.

Wheeliest

i maintain the current chain on there, clean'd n lubed once a week so i know the shape of my chain. no tight spots. and its a 532 pitch chain way more strong then crappy 520.

N/A

The 520 RK Gold chains are rated at 8500lbs of tensile strength vs. a 530 which is around 9200lbs of tensile strength. Its not like its a huge difference. Both are rated for 750cc.
