RK Racing Chain XSO

The 525 XSO features RK's standard X-Ring technology, the RX-Ring:

• The special shape of the X-Ring allows for 4 points of contact between the ring and chain with a lubricant reservoir in the middle.
• This allows the 5250 XSO to have the twice the wear life of a standard 525 chain whilst requiring less maintenance.
• The 525 XSO is designed to combine rigid strength with a low weight providing the feeling of light acceleration without compromising on wear resistance.
• Affordable, long lasting performance RX sealed chain. The XSO series offers less torsional friction and increased performance.

Features:

• OEM for all major Japanese manufacturers
• At least twice the wear life of a standard 525 chain
• High tensile strength
• Light weight
• Low Maintenance
• Less torsional friction

OEM Honda Front Sprocket Retaining Washer - CRF1000 and CRF1100 (all models)

OEM Honda Front Drive Sprocket (16T) for CRF1000 and CRF1100 (all models)

OEM Honda 48 Teeth for Africa Twin XRV750 (1990-2003) and CRF1000

These have been discontinued by Honda so once stock has gone we will not be able to re-order.

This is a 15 Tooth Front Sprocket for your CRF1000 and CRF1100 Africa Twin which has the rubber backing on each side of the sprocket - the same as the OEM Honda sprocket.

This is to assist with quieter running of the chain, and also acts as a basic 'cush' drive on your front sprocket.

JT are the leading manufacturer of aftermarket motorcycle sprockets, with the largest and most advanced factory in the world.

Motorcycle Sprockets made the right way...

There's only one way to make a sprocket that meets the highest quality standards and thats hobbing, machining and drilling. This gives the closest tolerances and most accurate tooth profiles.

...with the right materials...

By sourcing the best quality raw materials for their motorcycle sprockets, JT can ensure the best quality end product.

JT are the only manufacturer to use ultra-durable high carbon C49 steel for their motorcycle sprockets. This is a higher carbon steel than the typical C45 steel used by other manufacturers (including original equipment manufacturers) and so is harder and stronger than many other sprockets on the market.

...to meet or exceed the highest quality standards

Each JT sprocket goes through 10 individual quality control checks before leaving the factory to ensure that it meets or exceeds the highest quality standards for the motorcycle industry. And a good quality sprocket means less wear on the drive chain.

Cush drive rubbers help remove the shock from the transmission which helps, extend the life of sprockets, and bearings.

These harden over time and mielage, so should be checked at least once a year and replaced if broken or hard.
