I dont have any experience with VAS.

I myself have never spent more than $10 For a front sprocket and less than $15 for a rear. Check Rocky Mountians sprockets, I think the are called "Motive Gear" or something like that. Dont get sucked into thinking that an expensive sprocket will last forever. The chain is a different story. Get a good chain, preferably a DID O or X-ring, they last quite a while.

I'll agree... the primary drive sprockets offered by Rocky Mtn ATV are very good, and very reasonably priced..

Don't buy 'state of the art' aluminum sprockets... they can't handle the HP output of these machines.

I have no experience with the brand you named, but I'm betting they are higher in cost than the Primary Drive stuff.

Don't scrimp on the chain.... I ONLY run the Krause racing quadramax... it's a much heavier O-ring chain, and doesn't stretch much at all.

My $.02

Thats it, Primary Drive. I think that motive gear is dennis kirks line, anyhow. Like DUNE said, dont believe the hype with the flashy anodized aluminum sprockets, save your money and use it on a good chain.

I have never heard of that brand either. But I would like to give you my 2 cents worth. I agree with the others about aluminum sprockets. But if you plan on keeping your zilla you should check out sidewindersprockets.com yes they are kinda high,but you get what you pay for. Their chains don't hardly stretch and they have some awsome sprockets. Good luck

I would also highly recommend replacing the chain and both sprockets as a 'set'
Worn sprockets on a new chain & vise versa will prematurlely wear the new parts.

Just my $.02
