How can I get a sprocket with two more teeth

#1 Post by RZColinPaul » Wed Sep 12, 2012 1:06 am

Where can I get a rear sprocket for my RZ500. Looking for two more teeth than stock. Today my chain was stretched big time but only on one part of the chain. It slapped and banged, sounded like a piston going bad, never had a chain go that fast before. I have a couple of stock sprockets but would like a little more bottom end on my stock RZ500.
Thanks Colin

I did a 520 conversion from sprocket specialists..... seems to me they machined the rear sprocket and can make them to any specs you like, give em a call!

Paul,

Try Vortex sprockets.

Talon Engineering - they do all sorts of custom made sprockets.
