Vortex Sprockets
 

So I keep hearing that when I finally go to my 520 (-1/+2) that I shouldn't get Vortex sprockets because of their life span. I keep hearing that around the 1st year they start to wear and chip teeth. Have you guys had any problems with them? Do they have a warranty? I am looking for a decent sprocket set, that I don't have to pay out the ass for. Any help would be great! Thanks

arrah arrah would advise against it.

Do you really want to fuck yourself?

Get a good set of renthol sprockets and help yourself!

I know gas hates Vortex sprockets...

Yea I'm against them too!

I had a set on my bike when I got it. Garbage. They were worn down about 1/2 as much as gasman's picture and he said he put em on the year before.

I stick with steel sprockets.

I like these...

I'm running JK sprockets now. I'll probably go for Renthal next though. These came as a set with a Regina z-ring chain.

Good ole steel sprockets FTW!

vortex makes some decent stuff, sprockets arent among their decent products though. I'd rather run sunstar, JT, Renthal, or regina over vortex. I hear sprocket specialists makes some decent products.

You might as well carve a sprocket out of cream cheese...it'll last longer.

A FUCKIN MEN!!

Ebbs is right... my hate for them has always been very public. The short story is this... on a trip to the gap when that shit happen. Had to have the wife overnight me an old sprocket to use... FTW

didn't those go discontinued?

Nah,you're thinking Sidewinder,Supersprox is still making them as far as I know.

ahh ok... good to know

Pretty much what I have been hearing. I guess you get what you pay for, right?


Anybody using Driven?

I've been using Sprocket Specialists for years and they've always been pretty durable. I've had a Supersprox on order for a while, but it's taking some time to get because I have Marvics on my gixxer and the backorder list is huge apparently...

All their aluminum is hard-adonized, and I've gotten about 15K from them.

If you want more mileage than that, stick with steel.

just bought sunstar steel rear for the kawi

I got driven sprockets and a DID ERV3 520 chain for my R6 race bike...
