Texxas Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Hey guys, and gals. I need new sprockets front and rear. What is the best and where do I get them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in PA Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Factory Honda are the best. Several sets on E-bay now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furbird Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 If you want to stay stock geared, then the Honda ones are a good option. However, you can find aftermarket steel sprockets MUCH cheaper than the dealer. Some say the factory front sprocket is better because of the rubber dampner attached to it, but I didn't really notice that much difference when I changed mine out to a non-dampened sprocket, which was also one tooth smaller. The rear sprocket is available in steel from several manufacturers, no sense in spending double at the dealer when you can get the same thing from somebody else. Regardless of where you get a front sprocket, they are all steel. I have never seen an aluminum front sprocket for an XX. I have a 12 tooth, 15, 16, and 18, and they are all steel. On the rear, I have a 45 steel, and 43, 47, and 49 aluminum. They do make 43, 45, and 46 in steel, but the 46 steel is difficult to find.
