A versatile chain & sprocket kit where you can choose the sprocket sizes yourself!
With the help of our chain and sprocket guide, you can easily find the right parts for your motorcycle. If you want the original, you can choose the corresponding sprocket and chain from the list.
The Sprocket:
All Snell sprockets are laser cut, unlike some other sprockets which are made by punching. In manufacturing, advanced technology is used to get the perfect cut to increase the sprocket’s durability. If your chain is well maintained, you can expect a service life of 3000+ miles depending on the surface. All Snell sprockets have a black anodised "Electroplated" surface which gives a smooth finish and also increases the sprocket’s durability.
The Chain:
RK has been supplying motorcycle chains to all the major Japanese motorcycle manufacturers for over 40 years and provides both MotoGP and MXGP teams with first-class chains!
RK’s XSOZ1 chain is one of the best X-ring chains on the market! The Z1 version is even more durable than their XSO chain.
The X-shaped seals keep both the lubricant inside and block out dirt, dust and other things that can damage the links. This results is less friction, longer service life (up to 30% longer than an O-ring chain and 80% longer than a standard chain) and a chain that rolls more easily!
Supplied with chain lock.
Here's how to choose the right sprocket and chain if you want to change:
Changing the size of the front or rear sprocket is a very simple and popular way to change the character of your motorcycle.
1: For better acceleration, change to a smaller front sprocket and/or a larger rear sprocket.
2: To get maximum speed, change to a larger front sprocket and/or a smaller rear sprocket.
If you replace 1 tooth at the front, you will notice about the same difference by replacing 3 teeth at the rear. On most motorcycles, you notice a big difference by changing one tooth on the front sprocket and it is recommended you start by making small changes.
To maintain the correct angle of the chain, you should fairly distribute the changes between the front sprocket and the rear sprocket. It is better to replace 1 tooth on the front + 3 teeth on the rear sprocket than 6 rear teeth, for example.
When changing the size of the sprocket, you may also need to change the length of the chain.
On almost all motorcycles, you can switch to 1 tooth less/more on the front/rear sprocket and still maintain the original length of the chain.
If you do need to change more than 1 tooth, you often need to change the length of the chain. The following is a good general rule to make use of:
If you switch to a sprocket with 2 more teeth, you will need a longer chain with 1 extra link.
Also bear in mind that all chain lengths go up in sets of 2, so you may need to cut the chain.
In some cases, you will not need to cut it and you can adjust the axle blocks on the wheel axle.
A link on the chain corresponds to an adjustment of 8-10 mm on the axle block.
If you need an extra link on the chain and have the option to adjust 8-10 mm on the axle block, you can buy a chain that is 2 links longer and avoid having to cut the chain.
