sprockets that hold up

(1/3) > >>

motovet:
I was wondering what people are using and what kind of time you are getting from them. I just installed a sunstar steel rear and renthal ultra light steel front with a renthal chain and after only one hour of ride time the rear is showing a fair amount of wear already. Is this just the norm with the 500 or do I need to be looking at other sprockets

alward25:
Supersprox, been running it for 2 years, one on my 500 and one on my klx 450.  Still looks brand new, and for about $70, ya know.

+1
thats all I use as well still using one from my 06 bike.

I'll be the 3rd to confirm the SuperSprox...when I got my new W9 wheel,it came with a really nice black aluminum,but the 500 rips through aluminums fairly quick.So I picked up a matching black steel SuperSprox,I don't have much more than 40hours on it,but there's hardly a mark on it.I'm running a steel Renthal up front,with no problems/complaints at all.

As for the Sunstar...I'm a little surprised you said it's already wearing.When I got my K5,it had a fairly used steel Sunstar on the rear,and I rode a whole season with it,and it never wore anymore than it was when I got it....and I mostly power shift,up and down...and I like to grope the clutch ALOT exiting corners or just pelting the poor unsuspecting punk with boulders too :-D

cmotodad:
SS Ironman sprockets work well too. Used one on a CR500 for a couple years
