Title: OK....she needs sprockets...
Post by: HULKSTER on October 01, 2003, 08:07:31 AM

Any suggestions on the best bang for the buck sprockets and chain for my 2003 KX500?

I know I want steel sprockets (stock sizes I guess) and a o-ring chain.

JT Racing my man, get em for about $20 - $25 for the rear and $10 - $12 for the front.

My words of wisdom, don't believe the hype about the super lite sprockets, you ride the most powerful
dirtbike on the planet and a couple ounces aren't making a difference :wink:

Don't get sucked into the "Lightweight" thing! Steel is real!
New sprockets = new chain...O-Ring time!

I've had real good luck with R.K. and D.I.D.

p.s...aren't you in the N.East? Might want to go 14/49-50.

Just ordered a Renthal R3 520 O-Ring Chain (boy was that baby expensive...I guess ya get what ya pay for in a chain), And some Rocky Mountain Steel front (14) and rear (50) sprockets, and a link.

Prices on sprockets were cheap...

Front was $6.99
Rear was $14.99

Should have it by the middle of the week.
