I’m riding off road all summer. Trails. Mud. I won’t really be on the road. So I’d like to keep the same stock gearing ratio for this summer at least. I don’t want to lose my first gear fun. So I need the 46 or the 45 tooth. I think. I wish this wasn’t so stressful. You know, I do have an option to receive a package. I just have to drive two hours to get it. Not ideal. But if there is no other way for me to get a 46 or 45 to sprocket that fits. I could do it.

Also, how bad are the original sprockets? Will they wear down much faster than JT sprockets? Is the metal that inferior? Does JT sprockets add some kind of hardening or something to it that makes it last longer?
The sprocket I need is in stock at KP Moto club. But it’s the original one. I have had no problem finding the front sprocket on Amazon. There is a JT sprocket that is working just right for that. It’s already in my shopping cart.

So I got the front sprocket on the way. Along with a bunch of other riding gear. Safety gear. I already have the 428 chain. Should I just use the stock sprocket on the back? Since I can’t find it anywhere else? I’ve been calling around to motorcycle shops and they don’t want to talk to me unless I have a bike model and year. They can’t look it up any other way. I went ahead and gave them the Suzuki bikes, but they have never even heard of these things. Those bikes weren’t available in their system to look up.
Is 4000 miles or so typical to get out of a sprocket? Or should they be lasting longer than that? Because mine is all scooped out after 4000 miles. The stock sprocket.

Those bikes are from the 80's and 90's so sprockets can be harder to find. You replace both sprockets and chain. If you don't replace the rear sprocket you will end up wearing the chain out much quicker.

Definitely. I hear you. You have to replace everything at once. Both sprockets and chain. I have the front sprocket on the way, I already have the chain. I’m just wondering if using the stock sprocket from KP Moto club is OK. I would be mixing a JT front sprocket with the stock xpect rear sprocket. I would get the stock sprocket brand new from KP Moto club. It’s the only thing I can find that actually fits and is the right number of teeth. What I’m wondering is if it’s total garbage. Everybody seems to replace their sprockets right away. I’m not sure why that is. Can I count on the stock sprocket to last as long as a JT sprocket? I got 4000 miles or so out of the sprocket I have now. Is that normal? Or do the JT sprockets last a lot longer than that?

Thanks, Jerry. And thank you for your patience. I know these questions must seem ridiculous. I’m just trying to understand everything and get ramped up for this big overhaul.
I mean, I guess my sprocket is still OK. I guess I am actually replacing it just because I am replacing the chain. So I probably would have got more than 4000 miles out of it.

Well, I went ahead and got the stock sprocket from kpmotoclub.com.
At least I know it will fit and it’s the right number of teeth. Even if it’s made out of lesser metal. Maybe by the time this one is dead, we will have some supply chains back in order.
