hey guys, i seem to have an issue goin threw rear sprockets faster than i do oilchanges. ive tried a few different brands, the one on there currently is a vortex. It seems like every 2 months or so as i go to do normal chain maintenance (ie. cleaning and adjusting), i see that teeth are missing. on my last rear sprocket i was missing 8 teeth. yesterday i looked at the new one im missing ****in 10.

Where can i get some heavyduty steel sprockets made? i could care less ablout how slow its gonna make the bike, i need the durability.

 

i got a stupid question, but are you running the right chain for the sprocket, (520 chain with 520 sprocket, or are they mismatched?. theres a company that makes srockets with three metals the center is aluminum and the teeth are tool steel and some other part is titanium, its in the back of dirt bike magazines

 

I bought the latest whole setup from the same place (The Stunt Factory). i know i asked for 525, but is there any way to know for sure? I know the chain says EK525, but how can i check the sprocket?

 

Sprocket Specialists in Orville, CA has some good steel sprockets. If your eating sprockets that fast, I'ld adjust your chain weekly. If it stretches and goes out of adjustment, It will eat your sprocket.

 

i really don't know how to tell the difference, but if you are buying them together then they are probably matched, sprocket specialties is definitely a good place to check out, also is your rear adjusters adjusted straight, because if the tire is crooked then the chain is gonna put side pressure on the sprockets and wear them quickly

 

Yeah, don't trust those little marks in the swingarm, They're almost always off a bit. Manually check your tire to swingarm clearance on both sides.

 

hit up geared...there steel

 

I'd bet the farm your chain isnt adjusted up right. I've had no problems.

 

ive had no probs either.

the sproket with the steel teeth ring and aluminum centers are made by a company called Tri-Metal Sprockets i think. there salty, like 130+.

1. chain/wheel adjustment off

or

2. wrong chain for that sprocket.

 

I bet your chain is too tight

 

GEARED STEEL PRODUCTS makes SICK steel sprockets. WAAAY worth the loot.

 

+1

best sprocket ive ever had. **** aluminum vortex garbage, those lose teeth after 2000 miles.

 

make sure there is no kink in your chain i saw the same thing on a triumph his master link was screwed up so check all your links

 

Hi new to the boards.....

I would have to agree and check wheel alignment, that was the biggest sprocket killer when I was drag racing....the alignment marks werent good at all and I had to measure each time. Also, if you are stunting heavily you should be checking chain adjustment on at least a weekly basis.
