FAQs

Is this sprocket suitable for road use?

While it can be used on road-legal enduro bikes, it is primarily designed and optimized for off-road motocross and trials use.

Does this sprocket come with mounting bolts?

No, the package includes the sprocket only. It is recommended to use your existing sprocket bolts or purchase new ones if they show signs of fatigue.

Will this fit my KX125?

No, this specific part number is engineered for the KX60, KX80, KX85, and KX100 models. Please check your specific bike's part compatibility list.

Why is it made of aluminum instead of steel?

Aluminum is used to significantly reduce unsprung weight, which improves handling and acceleration, making it the standard material for racing components.

How often should I replace the sprocket?

It is best practice to inspect your sprockets every time you service your chain. If the teeth begin to look sharp or hooked, it is time for a replacement.

Troubleshooting

Sprocket teeth appear to be wearing down quickly

Check your drive chain for stretching. A worn chain will cause a new sprocket to wear out within a few rides.

Chain making excessive noise during operation

Verify that your rear wheel is aligned correctly and that chain tension is set to the manufacturer's recommended slack.

Difficulty fitting the sprocket to the hub

Ensure all mounting surfaces on the rear hub are clean and free of rust or debris before seating the sprocket.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly lighter than stock steel sprockets
  • Self-cleaning dirt groove design reduces wear
  • High-grade aluminum construction for race-day reliability
  • Easy to install as a direct OEM fitment

Cons

  • Requires proper chain tension management for maximum life
  • Aluminum is softer than steel and may wear faster under extreme conditions
  • Only compatible with specific Kawasaki small-displacement models

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed while the rear wheel is removed from the bike. Ensure that all sprocket bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's torque specifications using a thread-locking compound. This sprocket is compatible with Kawasaki KX60, KX80, KX85, and KX100 models produced between 1984 and 2023. Maintenance involves regular cleaning with a degreaser after muddy rides and periodic inspection of the teeth for 'hooking' or wear. Always replace your chain when installing a new sprocket to ensure the new teeth do not wear prematurely due to a stretched chain.
