werner Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 im calling bullshit.. so youre telling me that you bought steel sprockets, and the teeth bent after one day of riding? i dont believe it. i run a 10mm cub motor and ive been running steel primary drive sprockets for the rear of it for a long time. ive never come close to bending the teeth on a sprocket. i have about 4 of those things in every size they come. ive run them all. they all look fine and i dont even replace my chain regularly. post some pictures up of your sprocket and what brand was it? its not bs. ive had the same prob. went through 2 steels in 1 summer. Believe it or not the best luck I had was with the stock sprocket but now I run cascade JTs. Tried a renthal from RMATV and it didnt seem to do any better then the JT and it was twice as much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeNick Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I would use JT or Sunstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark101180 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 are you using an old worn front sprocket an old stretched chain and a brand new rear sprocket??? if so i believe that would cause some abnormal wear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandRageShee Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 you can all call as much BS as you want on this.. but my bike is an 87.. and it still has the 1987 sprocket on it. factory steel.. not wearing out or anything. chain has def been replaced but sprockets..nope..

locogato11283 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 i still dont believe it. i dont see how you wore down a sprocket thin in one day. i run the PD on my 10mm cub bike and do nothing but very hard launches in dirt and ive never seen an issue.

brian Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Maybe the sprocket that wore out in that day was just made from a shit grade steel, and/or not heat treated properly. I guarantee that if they made it from a mild grade steel with no heat treating it would wear out that fast. I have seen things wear out that just dont make any sense other than just plain piss poor manufacturing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
