Well i was playin on the way home from work and went to clutch one up and i heard a bunch of poppin and banging. I stopped to see what it was and turns out i ripped almost all the teeth off my rear sprocket. Has anyone else ever had this happen

 

yes i have seen it before like with 16 teeth gone on a rear sprocket

 

Yeah I hate it when that happens. You lose a couple, but you decide to continue to wheelie anyway. Next thing you know, your chain and sprocket are making a horrible noise and you cant acellerate very well.

 

My bro is missing 15 on his 48 rear. Keep you chit kink-free..

 

That sh/t happend 2 me on my r1.It happens alot on those cheesy *** Vortex sprockets. I didnt even realize it until I had like 11 teeth left on dat motherf*!cker.I went out and bought arenthal sprocket & the kid who bought my bike still got all his teeth!

 

you must have a vortex??? lol

 

**** . not no more.Besides, they dont make pizza dish sprockets so all I rock wit is sprocket specialist homie.

 

Did you change your sprockets and not your chain? You chain will stretch over time and wear into your sprockets. If you use an old stretched chain, you will round off the teeth of your sprocket and then it will thin out and break. Just time for new chain and sprocket. I suggest -1 +20.

 

yup! got an x-ring cause i thought it would last longer. So far so good

 

The one i destroyed was a +12 from sprocket specialists that i put on with a brand new chain this spring

 

hmmmm,
The only thing that I can think of is that you were running the chain too tight.

 

Nope always made sure i have a little slack for that reason, checked the play to keep track of it daily

 

some of you guys scare me.. lol. I dont understand people who ride their **** into the ground and never lift a wrench until half the bolts have fallen out and the **** wont move anymore.

This one guy here has **** falling off his bike constantly. broken up ziptied clipons... subframe broken in 4 places held together with pieces of flatbar and hose clamps.. chain that looks like 3-4 links are welded together every six inches.. complete pieces of bodywork flyin off going down the freeway.. wtf? lol.. its called maintenace! do it. seriously do it.

 

i have some sprokets for a 99' gsxr 750. if you are interested pm me. i can give you the sizes of them

 

Not takin care of my **** is not the problem in this case that is why i am curious if this is a common problem with big sprockets Just tryin to see if this is a freak deal or if i just have to be ready to replace sprockets every year or more

 

Kid had the most retarded looking subframe in the world. This guy would stunt that thing not wearing a helmet or shirt. Most of the time he was wearing shorts.

 

I've only had that happen once and it was because my chain was worn out and loose. Once those teeth start popping they won't stop!

 

Yeah it started out as a couple then by the time i got back to the house they were all ****ed

 

i had a -1/+6 combo from sprocket specialists that only lasted me from may till august. i put it on with a new did x ring chain and i keep that **** adjusted. i even cleaned and lubed it after i got caught in the rain a few times. the only reason i can figure it wore out so quick is cause its on the street everyday and at the spot on the weekends.

 

I've been running a S.S. +19 for almost a year now and it still looks good. I'm sure it will still b on next year. I ride a lot too.
