For QUICK ACCELERATION 14/44t gear ratio kit (quick off the line, quick roll on's, wheelies), use a 15t (-1t) front sprocket and a 44t (oem) rear sprocket.
Request during checkout in "Add Message" tab this 14/44t QA Kit
   *Note; Your top gear cruising rpm's will be higher, and your top speed will be lower with this quick acceleration kit.
A 14t oem front sprocket will fit with the same chain length that is used with the 15t if you ever want to go back to stock gear ratio.



*** Original Factory Supplied OEM RATIO 15/44t  size sprockets are the calculated "Happy Medium" of off the line acceleration, roll on's, and high speed engine rpm's with the least amount of compromise on either top end or low end acceleration. Available 520 or 525 sizes (narrower, chain and sprockets) do NOT affect final drive ratio, only changing number of teeth on sprockets actually changes gear ratio.
 If you just want an upgraded STRONGER final drive components kit , and are using your entire gear box ratio as it is from Kawasaki, then this OEM  15/44t OEM sprocket sizes is for you.
This OEM  ratio kit is the default gearing that will be sent unless otherwise specified

For FREEWAY GEARING 15/42t gear ratio kit (Faster top speed, lower top gear cruising rpm's, less wheelie prone), use a 16t (+1) front sprocket and a 42t (OEM) rear sprocket.
Request during checkout in "Add Message" tab this 15/42t Freeway Gearing Kit
   *Note; Your top gear cruising rpm's will be lower, and your top speed will be higher with this freeway gearing kit.



Teeth and Sizes Explained...
 
**   A -1t front sprocket only change is EXACTLY the same ratio change as +3t rear sprocket only change. (Reg. QA Kit)
 
**   A -2t front sprocket change is EXACTLY the same ratio change as +6t rear sprocket change (Very Extreme QA) Not Available!
 
**   A -1t front and +1t rear combination is EXACTLY the same as a +4t rear only change with stock front sprocket.
 
**   A 520 size chain is approx. 2mm narrower than a 525 chain, and 4mm narrower than a 530 chain (widest available). A wider tooth footprint equals longer life. Only the ratio (teeth count) change makes a difference in speed or acceleration. The sprocket width matches the chain width where it rides on the sprockets, thus a 530 chain must use 530 sprockets, and a 525 chain must use 525 sprockets, etc...
 
**   RPE Motorcycle has chain and sprocket conversion kits available in 520 , 525 , and 530 sizes for most motorcycles.
 
**  A larger rear sprocket number of teeth size requires a longer chain, however +1 or -1 tooth on the front sprocket only will use the same chain length

JT  Ft. Sprocket also available

 in 525 x 14, 15 or 16  teeth

    Half the Power Loss (Compared with Normal O-Ring  X-Ring construction reduces friction by twisting between the side plates instead of being squashed. Normal O-Rings and other makers’ modified O-Rings have squashed points that increase friction. The low friction X-Ring disperses the pressure and minimizes power loss.

     X-Rings have the greatest wear resistance of any other type of O-Ring or Non-O-Ring chain

    Why JT?

    JT Sprockets is the world's leading manufacturer of aftermarket sprockets and chain, constantly raising the industry's standards for quality and service. We are committed to supplying the most durable, best quality drive components available in the marketplace worldwide. This is why we produce and sell more sprockets than all the other aftermarket brands combined.

    Raw Materials

    JT sprockets are made using only the best available materials. Aviation-grade 7075-T6 aluminum alloy for lightweight competition sprockets, SCM415 chromoly steel alloy for front sprockets, and we are the only sprocket manufacturer using the ultra-durable high carbon C49 steel for rear sprockets.

    Production

    The JT Sprockets factory is the largest and most advanced in the world. It is fully equipped with high accuracy machinery, including the latest generation of CNC computer design and computer controlled metal cutting equipment.

    The essence of a high quality sprocket is in the high precision of manufacturing and the inherent quality of the material. Through accurate machining, JT ensures maximum durability and performance.

    JT Sprockets are manufactured the right way – by hobbing, machining and drilling. This is the only proven way to achieve the closest of tolerances and the most accurate teeth profiles.

    Heat treated and hand finished to perfection, all JT sprockets meet or exceed the highest possible quality standards set for the motorcycle industry.

    Quality Control

    Every sprocket goes through up to 25 production stages and 10 individual quality control checks before it is ready to leave the factory and the production facility has achieved the highest European quality standards
