Which Rear Sproket????

[bfbusa]

Which rear sproket is the best? Vortex or Supersprox. I beleive the standard rear sproket is 40 but SuperSprox only offer 39 or 41. If I go the supersprox I was thinking of the 39 tooth as I do more cruising than canyon carving.Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bill

i know a busa will eat up a vortex in a heartbeat. I have had good luck with my renthal.

I'm partial to Vortex. I've had really good luck with them. You'll get about 10K miles with a hard aluminum Vortex sprocket. I actually ran one until the teeth began to break at 13K miles.

I'm just the opposite on the renthal sprockets. I returned four Renthal sprockets a couple years ago. I never did get one that was round. I finally ordered a Vortex and have used nothing else since.

Although JT Sprockets makes a steel 43 tooth if you prefer. I was kinda partial to a 43T on my gen I.

You will get much more mileage from a steel sprocket. but on the other hand, many of the more experienced street riders here can feel the difference in upsprung weight with the heavier sprocket. "The increased gyroscopic effect slows down turn in...." or something like that...

I have a Vortex sprocket, and haven't had any problem with it.

200 HP BigBore and no problems with my Vortex either....

STEEL, JT Sprocket 43tooth is the way to go. but I guess if you dont want all the low end then stick with stock, but I would use steel(It will last longer).

And, steel is $20 cheaper!

There is no noticeable difference in steel vs aluminum!

However, one of those black anodized hardened Vortex aluminum sprockets are cook eye candy!

And for another twenty bucks, could be worth it?

Had em all, I swear by hardened aluminum Vortex...any tooth count, 42 is a great sport touring overall ratio. Raydog

that black vortex is sexy

Hey guys thanks for all the advice. It looks like the majority favor the Hardened aluminum Vortex. Where else can a guy get this kind of help, no-where but here. Thanks again.
