Available Optional JT & SuperSprox Black Steel 520 Sprocket Sizes;    

 

JT 520 Japan Steel Front Sprocket is available in 520 x 14t, 15t, or 16 teeth

SuperSprox  Black Steel Rear Sprocket is available in 520 x 41t, 42t , and 44 teeth



JT 520 Japan Steel Sprocket is also available in 520 x 40t, 42t, and 45t   (these are SILVER)


Teeth and Sizes Explained...
**   A -1t front sprocket change is EXACTLY the same ratio change as +3t rear sprocket change. (-1 Ft. = +3 Rr)
**   A +1t front sprocket change is EXACTLY the same ratio change as -3t rear sprocket change. (+1 Ft = -3 Rr)
**   A -1t front and +2t rear combination is EXACTLY the same as a +5t rear only change with stock front sprocket.
**   A 520 size chain is approx. 2mm narrower than a 525 chain, and 4mm narrower than a 530 chain.
      Less mass equals lighter weight equals easier to spin, but the ratio (teeth size) change makes the big difference.
      The sprocket width matches the chain width where it rides on the sprockets, thus a 520 chain must use 520 sprockets,
      and a 525 chain must use 525 sprockets, etc...
**   RPE Motorcycle has chain and sprocket conversion kits available in 520 , 525 , and 530 sizes for most motorcycles.
**  A larger rear sprocket number of teeth size requires a longer chain, however +1 or -1 tooth on the front sprocket only 
      will use the same chain length.
**  If you gear your motorcycle for Quicker Acceleration, it will be Slower on the top end of your power band.
     If you gear your motorcycle for Top End (Faster Top Speed, lower top gear cruising rpm's) it will be slower
     off the line and less responsive in lower rpm's.

    Half the Power Loss (Compared with Normal O-Ring)  X-Ring construction reduces friction by twisting between the side plates instead of being squashed.

    Normal O-Rings and other makers’ modified O-Rings have squashed points that increase friction. The twisting action of the X-Ring disperses the pressure and minimizes power loss.   

    1.5 to 2 TImes Longer Wear Resistance (Compared with Normal O-Ring) The X-Ring’s four contact points greatly increase its sealing performance. This keeps the dirt out and the

     lubrication in much better than any other O-Ring.   X-Rings have the greatest wear resistance of any other type of O-Ring or Non-O-Ring chain .

     

    Why JT?

    JT Sprockets is the world's leading manufacturer of aftermarket sprockets and chain, constantly raising the industry's standards for quality and service.

     We are committed to supplying the most durable, best quality drive components available in the marketplace worldwide. This is why we produce and sell

     more sprockets than all the other aftermarket brands combined.

    Raw Materials

    JT sprockets are made using only the best available materials. Aviation-grade 7075-T6 aluminium alloy for lightweight competition sprockets,

    SCM415 chromoly steel alloy for front sprockets, and we are the only sprocket manufacturer using the ultra-durable high carbon C49 steel for rear sprockets.

    Production

    The JT Sprockets factory is the largest and most advanced in the world. It is fully equipped with high accuracy machinery, including the latest generation

     of CNC computer design and computer controlled metal cutting equipment.

    The essence of a high quality sprocket is in the high precision of manufacturing and the inherent quality of the material. Through accurate machining,

    JT ensures maximum durability and performance.

    JT Sprockets are manufactured the right way – by hobbing, machining and drilling. This is the only proven way to achieve the closest of tolerances

     and the most accurate teeth profiles.

    Heat treated and hand finished to perfection, all JT sprockets meet or exceed the highest possible quality standards set for the motorcycle industry.

    Quality Control

    Every sprocket goes through up to 25 production stages and 10 individual quality control checks before it is ready to leave the factory and

     the production facility has achieved the highest European quality standards
