    Front Sprocket .... Rubber?

    I am getting close to needing a drive line chain and sprockets

    The stock Suzuki comes with rubber adhered to it ostensibly to reduce noise

    Has anyone really noticed a difference if they replaced a rubber coated sprocket with an all steel sprocket ?

    It will be louder no doubt. Not so much do be an annoyance IMO, but you will hear a sort of whine all the time.

    I've used both. Definately get the rubber, noticeably quieter. I tried the +1 GSXR sprocket and did not get better mpg but liked the road rpms a little better.

    I think I am the only Strommer that likes the stock gearing
