I just stumbled on the SideWinder website to check out their prices on sprockets & chains,
apparently theres a BIG problem.... their {sprocket companies} are having to deal with, the
new 4 stroke powerplants! The sprockets are being demolished at incredible rates long before
they are supposed to! Its a MUST READ for all you "NEW 4 STROKE" owners!!!Check it out,
so you can make the right choices in gearing longevity ! Theres a BIG WARNING BOX click on it
for info. Just thought I'd pass the info on.

 

Yeah, thats why you never by any soft metal sprokets if you have anything for power. Beleive i learned the hard way when i baught a alluminum rear sproket that striped (loosing teeth) which lead to my chain coming derailed which lead to my chain jamming up by my gear shifter = a CRACKED CRANK CASE. Good thing i had insurance on that Z-400.

 

WOW !!! Your insurance company covered that? Paid for the repairs as well too??LUCKY!!
