KZ 400 sprockets
01 Nov 2015 18:36
Does anybody know if there is a 14 tooth front sprocket that will fit the KZ400 ? All of our catalogs at the shop show only the stock 15.
I can beat the paramedics to my crashes by at least 10 minutes.

What are you trying to accomplish by using a smaller engine sprocket? Ed

Z1Enterprises.com carries JT Sprockets but only a 15T for the 79 KZ400. Searching the JT website for the series number listed on Z1Ent, there is only a 15T JT sprocket available. However, there are a couple of nos aftermarket 14T 530 sprockets listed on eebbaayy. Search = KZ400 14T sprocket.
Note: a smaller Fr sprocket will wear the chain faster.

Thanks dude. I work as a mechanic at a bike shop so parts are at cost for me. Just one of the perks. :woohoo:
