Tires and Sprocket

I have a 1982 KZ440-a. I called up a shop and they said a sprocket was going to run me $139 because they were hard to find. And I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find one for a good price, also I want to get new tires and I don't knew where to get a good set.

This is my first bike and I don't know much so any help will be appreciated.

Looks like sprockets are about 25 bucks at

First rule when you are a newbie: Don't call the "shop"

Follow link to JT Sprockets for template, spline etc...

www.jtsprockets.com/52.0.html?&L=0&sel_uid=4976&p=

Front sprocket is a JTF509
Rear Sprocket is a JTR476

You'll need to research for exact tooth counts....
You can order from JT Sprockets as well...

Or over @ Z1... find your sprocket...

Front 15 tooth...

That's the rule for newbies or oldies... and stay way far away from dealers.

ewolf, welcome.

The stock rear sprocket for the A3 model is 45 tooth.

A Kawasaki Service Manual for your model bike is an investment that will pay for itself many times over.
Ebay is the best source, averages 25 - 35 dollars + shipping.
They come up fairly often, so if someone has one listed for a lot more, your money, your call.

I'll have to try and find a manual for sure. I was told I should replace the front sprocket and chain as well if I was going to replace the rear. Are there any chains or front sprockets you would recommend?

This is the chain I was thinking about- www.bikebandit.com/bikemaster-530h-heavy-duty-chain?b=29109

Edit- Is the front sprocket supposed to have 15 teeth?

Also I was planning on getting the tires in the link below, a rear tire that is 130-90-16 and a front tire that is 100-90-19. Is that what I want?

Z1 Enterprises has the best deal on a good X ring chain (I looked). They also have the best prices on sprockets.

The stock front on mine is 16T, not sure about yours.
