What are the best steel sprockets to run also where to get the best price on them ?
I have had pretty good luck with JT sprockets. They are reasonably priced and seem to last a while. Bought some cheaper ones on eBay from east coast atv and those were weekend specials at best. I am sure all the name brand sprockets are good.
I have good luck with the Rocky Mountain atv brand sprockets and gold chain.
Best & lightest steel ones are OEM. Get them from Jason at Honda east.
Anyone use vortex sprockets from rocky Mountain I was looking at them and using another did atv X ring chain. I broke the last one . Not a bad chain it was my fault. I won't go into it but it took a lot of abuse.
D.I.D. & RK are good chains depending on the model and it's tensile strength.
I run a RK 520 XOSO (8,500 Lbs tensile strength).
Fuss ran a RMATV chain for a the last couple of years and it worked good, plus the rivets are preened over so they don't catch anything or do a lot of damage if they hit something like the frame.
X2 on the RK 520 XOSO. I've ran those on my CRF ever since I've owned it. They have not given me any grief whatsoever.
I completely agree did is a great chain . I will be putting another one on it. Just to be clear I wasn't trying to bad mouth them. When I pressed the bearings into the rear of the swing arm I started on the right side instead of the left. There is no lip to stop bearing. So I couldn't get the chain to run perfectly straight even by moving my carrier over. I should have never run it that way. If I would have pulled it back apart in the first place I would only be out seal money. Now it's seals chain sprockets and engine gaskets and a tig job to put case saver back on. A very expensive bad judgment call on part to say the least. I had it all in including seals if the factory would have cast a lip in the carrier for the bearing to stop against this would not happen.
been running sprocket specialist for a long time. They hold up well. Ran the high dollar rmatv chains (like 50$?) for awhile but will be changing to a different brand. They're cheap and decent just stretch too fast for my tastes. Will probably run a RK or DID.
I have a primary drive chain and sprockets. I believe those are rocky Mountain brand. Been very happy with the wear and longevity of them. Mostly sand and a little bit dirt riding.
Has anyone here tried sidewinder sprockets and chain? I ran one on my hi hp banshee years back. The tensil strength was around 15000 I think. I thought it was a nice setup, sprockets and chain.
Ok i bought another did x ring from rocky Mountain and vortex sprockets. If it dont work out i will look into lifetime warranty sprockets. I seen them somewhere. In the end they might be the answer. As the did chain has exceeded my expectations. Thanks for the suggestions.
What was the sprocket & chain that Rogue had problems with?
