Is this sprocket shot? was created by badrhino
Just wondering how shot this rear sprocket is. The front one looks good but this rear is iffy. Was wanting to reuse the chain and sprockets that came on the bike but i don't know.
Here are some pics of the rear. It looks a little unevenand the tips don't quite look right. Would it be ok to use for a while?

Yeah I have seen them completely sharp and some sharp and bent a bit but this one just looked odd and I didn't know if I could get a few more miles out of it.

Where is a good place to get good sprockets at a decent price?

By the way what is the normal sprocket set-up? I currently have 16/41. Is this a good ratio?

Nope, 630. I think the previous owner used to drag it. It is a 1980 B model but the Engine is a J model serial number kzt00je035667 with 29 smooth bores.:P

Yes it's dead

Do the 530 conversion and be happy

SO what would be a good 530 conversion set-up for town and some highway cruising? 15/38... or is that still low gearing?

Actually it is a 14/41. I think I'll put on a 36 or 38 rear and stick with the 630 until I decide to do the rear swing arm replacement mod.
