I want to go stock up front with rubber back and 44t in the back for more acceleration and hooligan nonsense.
also should I get an oem sprocket so it has the rubber backing for sound control?
The stocker is heavy. My steel SuperSprox 17 T is quiet as far as I can tell.
Why not go to 45T?? Might as well. If you don't disable the top speed limiter, you can't do over 186 anyway. I did 180 with a 45 T and I still had a thousand rpm to go. Go to a 45 T. A bit heavier but larger sprockets look so much cooler. Vortex aluminum is lightest. Aluminum will last about half as long as steel. The rear is not hard to change.
SuperSprox does make an aluminum with steel teeth bolted on if you really must have steel.
Any basic X-ring chain is fine with me.....nothing fancy.
Any chain will work but make sure it's rated for 10,000 lb tensil strength.
The EK 3D is very good. Better than my EK ZZZ and even a bit lighter. Lighter than stock and stronger plus lasts for ever. I've got close to 30,000 miles on mine and I've only adjusted it a tiny bit 3 or 4 times. Mostly when I change sprockets otherwise it never stretches.
What year/cc size model ran a 16t with the same spline pattern?
It was a Kaw Zephyr. Something like 1970. Why wouldn't he just get an OEM Gen1 ZX-14 sprocket (except a Supersprox will be cheaper, lighter, better and just as quiet)?
