I am running a 51 tooth in the rear and I keep rippin teeth and bending the tips of em. I need a harder metal, but all I can find em in is that light weight aluminum. They last me about 3 months. Is there a way I can keep from screwin em up so fast or a harder metal sprocket out there? TIA

 

STOP BUYING The damn 520 converstion POS's and stick with the Damn 525 that comes with them.

 

I agree...525 (good o-ring chain), Thrust sprocket, and keep chain properly adjusted and you should be good for a long while

 

good call, and get a good chain and maintain it

you are ripping teeth off cause the chain is stretching out and you are wearing it abnormally fast cause you are a stunter, and **** dont last when you beat on it

 

Do the 520 sprockets just screw up that easily? I believe mine came w/ a 530 setup stock. Will that lightweight aluminum hang in there better w/ a 525 or 530 setup? Whats the biggest steel sprocket any1 makes?

 

do they even make aluminum sprockets for 525 and 530?

 

As long as you rock 525 or 530 I think you'll be ok with the alluminum sprockets. Not sure what the biggest steel ones are sorry.

 

Yes hit up the moto haven banner at the top of this page Man!!!

 

the biggest that i have been able to find that is a +5 for an f3, they just weigh too much and are would cost more to make

mine was an RRP, that i got from sprocketcenter.com but moto-heaven is the way to go, phil will take care of it and get you your stuff fast as hell,


btw r6 comes with a 525 stock, most kits that you buy are 520 cause they are cheaper.

 

Cool, thanks for the info guys, i didn't expect any replies till tha morning. I use to race my bike so i had alot of 520 sprockets. Anyways, looks like i'll just sell the rest of my 520 crap.

 

No it doesn't

 

what does it come with then?

i searched cause i knew i was right, and the old carbed model 1999-2002 all said 525, but i could be wrong

 

Ive owned both a 2001 and 2003 R6's and they both come with 532 chains. My 636 came with a 520 stock though and as long as you buy a good chain and maintain it you shouldnt have that problem. A DID 520 ERV3 has a higher tensile strength than a some cheap 530.

 

You can also but a blank steel sprocket from automotive suplly stores, and machine out the holes. They come in all kinds of sizes. The blank sprockets are about $15-20, and I'm sure you can find a buddy to machine the holes for free.

 

I forget the style chain thats on my bike now, but its a 520 chain that retailed at $120. I got it cheaper w/ my discount, its a damn nice chain tho, but it eats up those 520 rear sprockets like nothin' !!!

 

DNF,

Dude! That's a great idea. why not I have a pro drill press. Hell ya! you smart guy you. I'm a gonna try it,,,boo ya

I've been running PB sprockets and a 530 and have never had a problem. they are good to 12,000 miles or so.

 

what auto supply stores do you find em at? I went to my local one and didnt see ****
