Hey guys, after a "painful" day of listening to my chain snap crackle and pop in acceleration and extereme cases during wheelies i decided to shell out the 200 bux and get myself a Stage II Drive Kit from Thrust sprockets.

Now my question is, the specs read as follows:

Stage II = An increase in acceleration and torque of 18% on average. A loss of 5-10% in top speed may be experienced. Notice- If the current chain is intented to be used then it should be in very good condition due to the added stress of any kit.

In "lamen's terms" what the hell am i getting... i relize im getting a larger rear sprocket (duh) but im wondering what is my actual teeth gain here. Since ive started stunting ive heard nothing but -1 +9 and +13 and so forth...

So if someone could tell me how many teeth am i actually going up here... Id like somewheres in the +8 to +10 range and im assuming that this kit will be right in that ball park or alittle less. (anything is better then my current 520 aluminum -1 sprocket setup i got now)

Thanks for any help in advance.

 

im not sure but thestuntfactory sells the thrust sprockets as well with the stages 1-4 and they list it as and thats for a street stunt kit

1= -1+1
2= -1+2
3= -1+3
4= -2+2

not sure if thats gonna help but it might

but they also say for the pro stunt kit that its a net of +22 with both sprockets

 

$200!!??

 

sorry i got that wrong,

the street-stunt kit is net up 12-14

then theres the stages kits

then theres the pro one which is up 20-22


and yes, thats 200 but it comes with an 0-ring chain as well

 

onoffroad.com is much cheaper

 

i copped a street/stunt kit from moto-heaven. it was a stock steel front, 525 x-ring chain and a +13 56t rear. feels godo for the parking lot, i can do liek 80 on teh highway taching like 6500, any fatser and its annoying, i odnt liek highway anyways. good for the street too. moto heaven had my ish in 2 days. i say go for it

 

Phil has great products and is awesome with helping out his customers too- Ive worked for him a lot, email him if you have any questions!! =)

 

The thrust aluminum rear sprocket sure gets eaten up though-I've had mine for 7-8 months and the teeth just look stressed the *** out-I wish it were steel. Guess its just a part of the game! Awesome product though no doubt.

In Lamens terms=====


Your bike with be faster off the line and a slower top end

 

Just curious which of his products you've used

 

Is there anyplace to get bigger than stock steel sprockets? I've only had my sprocket for around 3 months and it's starting to show wear.

 

I'm still looking...Now that I know how to 12, I might just go back to stock steel if I can't find anything. I've been maintaining my thrust setup every week and my rear aluminum 56t looks like its about to take a crap.

 

So i wouldnt get a remark like this I put that I have worked for him MIke, shut it! I dont ride but I have ears and I always here good stuff about Phils products and respect him and what hes doing so had to give my support

 

I have not had any problems with Thrust Sprockets wearing fast...however, I do use the EK Chain that they are precisely machined for.

If you have a good chain and keep it adjusted properly, your aluminum should last! I've rocked the same one for over a year! (and it's a 520)

525 or 530 will help the life, but we are ALOT more abusive to this stuff than it was intended for.

Spocket Specialists makes a +2 steel for both of your bikes, but you'd prob. have to wait forever to get 'em.
