2talltim Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 is that a "vortex" sprocket? ive heard nothing but bad about them, you need a nice new "driven" set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaNick Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) I will say that I've only had Vortex sprockets on my 14 and no complaints. I keep them clean and chain tension as close to perfect as I can get it. They are great light weight sprockets, but need to be well taken care of to make them last. I also am a very ham-fisted rider too. Self control on a bike is hard for me. Just my opinion.Next I want to try the ones that are all aluminum but the teeth. I think they are driven like you guys mentioned. Edited August 22, 2012 by NinjaNick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentracer Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 5k miles to me is a summer. and that's about all guys get out of them. my driven sprocket lasted about 3 summers. 3 times the life I would guesstamate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsxr1000bill Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Ive had that same sprocket on my 1k track bike for about 10 track days!No issues at all, and im not easy on it, especially when i hit the streets with it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 I would never put a Aluminum sprocket on my bike, there is no way the weight savings is worth anything in a street aplication vs. reliability and wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrown57 Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 As stated it was on the bike from the previous owner and I plan on getting something that last longer which is what I have been slowly doing with everything I buy for it. Definately going to look at Driven brand what are some other good ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
