This is the Worst Sprocket You've Seen...

is this a VT fix?

I've seen some hacked up bikes that came from VT. I would've even ride a bike if it came from VT.

...ever. I just took this off my buddies 2003 ZX-6R. I don't even know why or how he was riding it like this.

It's easy... he just doesn't ever use the throttle.

Do the worst offenders just keep over-tightening it to keep it from skipping?

Calling Bruce Tessier....! He had one on a Nova Scotia ride that, at the tip of Cape Breton, looked like a wave rotor!

I have one from my old dirt bike that has 1 tooth left

[motoking]

Wow that is wore out.
Try those Ti 2 Sidewinder lifetime .
Those things never wear out .

those rears look like vortex racing sprockets - 520 and aluminum...8k miles and it's done

Wow. I had 12K on my stock chain before I changed it. The sprockets and chain had plenty of life left on them but I had to take the chain off to replace the drive shaft oil seal. I was like screw it, if the crap is off I mine as well replace the chain with an x-ring verses an o-ring and refresh the sprockets. If I didn't have to repleace the seal I would have kept them on there for another 12k!

just my .02, only sprockets going on my bikes are steel based. They last so much longer.

What about that guy who's front sprocket is welded on? :

Agreed, but I run supersprox, aluminum center steel teeth because I'm so fast a full steel sprocket will slow me down!




Nah I'm a slow leprechaun but they look pretty :

Holy shiza, that sprocket is damn tootheless. Like the gums of a 90 year old. *shiver* How do you ever ride like that? Tighten the chain or not, you'd think that the chain might slip up a time or another? And I thought losing a tooth or two was bad....

So do Hawk guys never change sprockets, or do they just keep breaking welds and retacking?

Waitign to see if someone tries JB Weld...

Do Hawks have a weak point at the front sprocket/output shaft? How do you overcome this?

from what i've been told/read they are weak, exacerbated by an over-tight chain. if the chain is run correctly (looks way too loose), it helps.

[nt650hawk]

i've obviously beaten the hell out of mine with 0 issues. loose = right

Oh you know it...Tucson is where its at! ;D

[Garrett]

Maybe he's got a stretched busa and it uses the two chain setup for a 330 tire?

I'm replacing mine WAY too early!!
