Install a 16 Tooth Front Sprocket - Page 6

Jordan310 · 05-29-2007, 07:47 PM

They are a great company.
I ordered a test sprocket to compare with the Suzu 16 tooth.

They also sent me a metal "bushing" for the sprocket. Im unsure what this ring does, or its application,. but it went along with the sprocket. Does anyone know what this is?

Whatever it is doesn't really matter for us, as we don't need it.

What's the part number on that Suzuki sprocket? Or at least a photo of it

Thanks for the helpful advice. Look the part number up yourself. Its readily available from a knowledgeable mechanic or Suzu dealership.
For everyone else, Im sure this metal bushing has some application for the sprocket. I just am unsure as to how it fits into play.

That should read "Whatever it is, it doesn't really..."

sorry
I wasn't blowing you off

Im not sure.
Why would JT bundle them together unless it had a good use.
Could it be that the sprocket is for the dirtbike, or ... anyone?

My order didn't come with anything but a sprocket. no bushing. nothing else. Do you have a link for the part you ordered? I'll cross reference it.

That's your order number.

Either way, I can't find any mention of a bushing anywhere. Send me a link to what you are looking at.

I went to the JT Sprockets website and can't find 'em there. Also, according to their cross reference chart, there are no alternative sprockets in the world of motorcycling that fit the GZ, save the original version of this bike, the GN250. The sprocket for the GZ is the same part number as for the GN.

You can't even use the DR250S sprocket because of an extra large bulb on the area where you would have to bolt the sprocket on. This bulb wouldn't allow the bolt to seat on the GZ, meaning your chain and sprocket would come flying off.

Found it.

This is just a universal sprocket. It's not necessary for our application. It's not specifically designed for the 16T sprocket or any other thing for that matter. I guess on some other bikes it might be needed. But the purchase of a certain sprocket would most likely prompt the purchase.

I put the sprocket on my bike and there was no point in the application where it could have been used. After several hundred miles of riding, there is also no flaw with it's operation.

Check this out.

Weird.
I was wondering why they gave it to me for free, and then why they suggested it.
I know what a bushing is, just not a metal one like this.

Thanks for the info.
Now Im just currious as to know for what bike this IS used for.
