[mountindewGS]

Thank you for the info.

where did u find the sprocket and will it fit my 200f gs500f

that site says 14 tooth is OEM    :dunno:

[RedShift]

... and a 14-Tooth would be wrong.  A 16-Tooth comes stock.  Have a look at the GS 500E line on the Sprocket Specialists Suzuki Catalog.  It should fit the GS500F -- same engine.

I think I've read something about the GSF having a tab on the sprocket. You might want to check that out.

There might be something to what X5 says.  I've noticed that none of the usual sources offer a front sprocket with a reference to the GS500F.  But why would Suzuki make a change to something that didn't need a change for 15 years?  :dunno:

Anybody take off their GS500F front sprocket?  My GS500E has a shoulder on the inboard side, flat on the outboard, held on the spline with a Circlip.

The F model had an oil cooler added too, so they did change a few things. I dunno. But you should look into that.

Any updates on this moutaindew? Did that end up being the correct sprocket?

Bump  I am also looking to switch to a 15t but I am having some confusion (no surprise there).

According to Kerry's Chains & Sprockets page:

http://www.bbburma.net/Documents/GS500_Chains&Sprockets.txt

It says that the "JTF512-15" is the correct 15 tooth sprocket for an '89-04+ GS.

But according to JT Sprocket's website:

http://www.jtsprockets.com/52.0.html?&L=0&sel_uid=4581&p=

It says that the front sprocket is "JTF 516.16" for the '04+ GS. I assume the .16 is for 16 tooth, so I could reasonly assume the 15T would be "JTF 516.15". But the JTsprocket website does not sell them directly. So I searched for the part # and found:

http://www.motorcycleproshop.com/detail.asp?product_id=JTF512-15

Is that right?

It just seems like I am going in circles here. Who here has the 15T sprocket on an '04+ GS, and where did you buy it and what is the part? Thanks 

[chefod]

i bought the one from sprocket specialists, and it's the wrong one, you need the one with the shoulder!!!! not from them!!!

I'm looking into changing my Front Sprocket to a 17T, but am a little confused too.  I have an '04 F so I need to get a sprocket with a shoulder on it?  Like in this diagram...

I think I've read something about the GSF having a tab on the sprocket. You might want to check that out.

Is that the tab the AlphaFire X5 is talking about???

Yes, that shoulder is the thing I was talking about. The raised edge from the sprocket has to be there, but I can't remember the physics of why. In a few weeks/months I'm going to get that one from JT Sprockets that Phaedrus posted and see how it works out.

Ok, I went to order one but I didn't complete the check out. They wanted a total of $9 for shipping and handling.  So I sent them an email asking if they are nuts. It seems excessive to me. So I probably won't be ordering from them. Does anyone know anywhere else to get it?
