sprockets
11 Nov 2005 17:00
I have a 1980 kawasaki kz440 that i mainly ride around in the yard. i want to change the sprockets to get more acceleration :evil: . I believe stock is 15 in the front and 45 in the back, i would want to go higher in the front and lower in the back right? What would you guys suggest and can you tell me were i can get them thanks.
ps im 15 and this is my first bike, i dont plan on taking it on the road

Jc whitney is one place...There are others, I'm sure. Those don't sound like stock...but I could be wrong. If those were on my bike, it would be a wheelie prone monster.

Get in touch with Jeff at Z1 enterprises
z1enterprises.com/
.
He's a great help on this and has sprockets for a fair price. You might also think about a new chain, and maybe going to a 530 instead of the bigger 630, if that's what your bike has now.

He is talking about a KZ440, not exactly a high hp bike, and I'm reasonably certain it has never had 630 chain on it (unless it was laying across the seat or something):laugh:
Sprocket Specialist will probably make you any size sprocket you desire, and that's probably who you are going to have to talk to, Jeff may be able to get you a smaller front sprocket, but I think you will want a larger rear also for the kind of riding you mention.
