Sprocket Specialists will make 12 or 13 tooth front sprocket for the ZX-6R, but require a minimum order of 6, and they take 2 MONTHS TO MAKE!!!

So, I was just wondering if there were other teams that wanted to purchase sprockets from our order?

Or, maybe purchase some for last year's car for testing?

So, what would you like, 12 or 13 tooth front?

We don't run a Kawasaki, but I am interested in the pricing they quoted you. We've been making our own 12s, and they wear out quickly because we can't heat treat them to the proper hardness.

Last year I was quoted about $280 for 8 12 teeth. The ZX-6R is using the same splines as an R6, correct? If so I'd be in for a couple of 12 teeth. Let me know if you decide to order.

Kawasaki teams, speak up, and we'll get a group order placed with Sprocket Specialists for either 12 or 13 tooth front sprockets for ZX-6R.

If someone can confirm the sprocket splines for the said engines ie Yamaha and Kawasaki are the same, I will check our stocks , have had 12 and 13 tooth sprockets made by Chiaravalli of Italy for kawasakis before in 530 pitch, approx cost $15USD + freight etc I am not in the US if the ones are in stock shipment can be immediatly.

The splines on our 99 ZX6R and 00 R6 are the same. Our 01 TT600 engine shares these splines as well. However I am looking for 520 rather than 530.

Attn All Kawasaki/Yamaha users can do 12, 13, 14 tooth engine sprockets in 520, 525, 530 pitchs ex stock cost $20 NZD (approx $12usd) assuming the information that is posted previously is correct (? YamahaTT600) These sprockets are made by Chiaravalli of Italyand come heat treated etc, I have used 520 pitch sprockets with over 150 hp Kawasaki 900 with zero failures, these prices do not include freight from NZ but that should be approx $6nzd email graeme27@orcon.net.nz

ParkerMU,

Who specifically did you talk to at Sprocket Specialists? Did they require a minimum order? What length lead time did they give you? Could you get a 12 tooth in the 520 size? What size rear sprocket do you run?

Thanks,

our contact with sprocket specialist is ms. Deebee. i dont recall them requiring a minimum order. they shiped our order the day after it was placed. we didnt get any custom sprockets. we ordered them all straight from the catalogue. we simply just shaved down the 530 11 and 12 on the lathe. we have done this in the past and have not had any problems. our rear is a 48 tooth 520 sprocket.
