Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This is a 525 pitch sprocket with 44 teeth. Ensure your motorcycle's chain and other drivetrain components are compatible with the 525 pitch. Verify that the mounting pattern and hub fitment match your specific motorcycle model before purchase.
Setup: Installation typically involves removing the rear wheel, unbolting the old sprocket from the hub, cleaning the hub surface, mounting the new Esjot sprocket with appropriate hardware, and reassembling the rear wheel. It is highly recommended to consult your motorcycle's service manual for specific instructions and torque specifications. Proper chain alignment and tension are critical for optimal performance and longevity.
Care: To maintain the sprocket's performance and lifespan, regular cleaning is essential. Use a soft brush and a mild degreaser to remove dirt, mud, and old chain lube. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Re-lubricate your chain according to the chain manufacturer's recommendations. Inspect the sprocket teeth for wear or damage during regular maintenance checks. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or high-pressure water jets directly on the sprocket and surrounding components.
