best aftermarket sprocket for my 08?

[GoBollzD33P]

while my bike is down i mideaswell change the chain and sprockets... i think i'm going to get a did chain but my problem is i don't know what are the best choices for front and rear sprockets and how many teeth to get for both.... can you guys help me out?

I'm running a 49T Renthal. Just depends on the riding you are going to be doing 49T is going to give you more low end and take away a little top. The higher # 50, 51, 52...you go up the more low end you are going to get and in return you will loose top end. Hope this helps

Ironman sprockets www.qualitysmart.com and DID VT2 Enduro "T" ring http://www.didchain.com/offroad.htm . Aluminum is like burning money.

I am running 13F and 50R Ironman's and they work great tons of bottom end and still not shifting too much aswell I use a DID chain

[gruberyz]

Might as well run Renthall they work best for us on our bikes

[GoBollzD33P]

i was told renthal are garbage and wear out quickly for our bikes?

I've been really happy with pro taper sprockets.

[GoBollzD33P]

im thinking 51 rear 13 front inronman sprockets.... is that a good choice?

[Hillzy]

I went 13/50 on mine, and I am going 13/51 next time. I use 3rd and 4th gear mostly and some tight corners I go to 2nd (rarely). I'd like to gear it down slightly from where I'm at to definitely stay in 3rd and 4th.

[GoBollzD33P]

ok so i know how many teeth i will get... but what sproclets are you guys running and are you happy with them?

Renthal front and renthal twinring or Ironman for rear.

Renthal on a 450 is a joke from my experience. any aluminum for that matter.

Spend the coin and get an Ironman or Sunstar Works Z. Both will outlast ANY aluminum on a 450 20:1.

Hey captain what chain are you riding?

Since I've installed a DID ERT2 on my brand new "09 450, this sucker has been eating my rear tire knobs and mud flap and destroying my chain slider and stock sunstar rear sprocket since it stretches way too much and flexes sideways a lot.

Now I need to replace chain slider, chain and sprockets, bike has one and a half season.

I might go with "polisports" on the slider, DID VT2 chain and steal front and rear sprockets, mainly riding MOTO, any suggestions?

[The Captain]

I use the rk mxz4. Best non oring on the market imho. You can't go wrong with the vt2 though.

I installed a VT2 chain on Ironman sprockets 100 hours ago. I've made two chain adjustments in that entire time.

Ive been running an RK on the Primary Drive RockyMountain sprockets. From what Ive seen an aluminum sprocket is an aluminum sprocket. They all wear out almost instantly on a 450. But at least with the Primary drive parts they're cheap as hell. I think my last sprocket was 29 bucks or something.

Now the chain on the other hand, that primary drive chain is JUNK!! Makes the OEM chain look invincible.

I got 4 rides on the PD chain before I had to remove a link from it to get the adjustment back. It ate the sprockets like a fat kid at a doughnut eating contest.

If the chain on your bike it toast but you want to sell the bike, PD all the way.

The sprockets are the best deal ever though (for aluminum sprockets)

[GoBollzD33P]

i can't remember what DID non o ring chain i got but i installed one along with some ironman sprockets and in 2 months of riding almost every day the stuff still looks brand new.. i was impressed.

i have renthan 13/51 on my 08 crf 450 and it feels way snappier than and steel sprockets i have had so i will keep buying

[rainydays]

The CRF struggles for clearance at the front sprocket. Some, especially the cheaper ones, tend to be chunkier and will rub the casing or be close enough to drag crap through that will. DID X ring, poss other brands, are thinner but can still drag stuff through. The VT2, T ring, is extra thin but still super strong and perfect for the job.

I went with this for chain
