RZ500 Sprockets
Hi. As I restore my 1984 RZ500, I want to buy new sprockets and a chain. Any recommendations? I want to replace with the original number of tooth sprockets, but don't know what that is?
Cheers.

Re: RZ500 Sprockets
Gearbox sprocket is 15T
All standard rear sprockets are 38 tooth except the 52x Canadian bikes with had a 40 tooth sprocket as standard.

Re: RZ500 Sprockets
Stock sprockets are 15t x 38t and a 106 link 530 chain, I convert all my bikes to a 520 x-ring chain and sprockets, Running a 530 is a little overkill to be honest,
Ymaha R1 sprocket up front in a 520 and a JT on the rear
Beat me to it..

Re: RZ500 Sprockets
I have a 45 rear. Lots of fun
For the 520 rear sprocket conversion you can use the RZ350 or TZR250 as a reference source.

There is no lag anywhere on the throttle. As long as I have the courage to hold on it pulls hard at any throttle opening. 3rd gear acceleration is fantastic, even from roll on while cruising. Off like a rocket. Perfect for the riding I do on the back roads here. I sacrifice on the top end, but it isn't like I'll ever need to see 240 on the speedo.

The ex-Team Agostini YZR500 rear wheel I got came with a 45 tooth rear sprocket - I am trying to imagine the brass nads required to have to put a 45 tooth sprocket on a YZR500 to make it "more lively" LOL

Re: RZ500 Sprockets
If you want a one stop shopping solution for stock sizes try these guys. I'd done business with them several times and the prices and service are very good. http://www.ebay.de/itm/DID-VX-Kettensat ... SwjDZYmiaG" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Re: RZ500 Sprockets
Thanks everyone. I ordered the one stop shop option recommended above.
