i got my bike apart took off the old one and whent to put the new one on and it barely wants to go on i dont want to force it on... i looked at the sprocket and can see that the old one has inner splines like a V where as the new JT sprocket inner splines look more like a platau.. make sense? should i just force it on anyways?
Are you sure you got the one for your year model?. The earlier ones were different. I've forgotten which models it was but there is a difference and you won't be able to force it. Shouldn't be forcing it anyway.
ya i just double checked here http://www.bbburma.net/Documents/GS500_Chains&Sprockets.txt
i ordered the 80-993-15
i have a 1990 gs and i double checked the package it came in... grr!! :x
apparantly that listing is incorrect because the lady i talked to from dennis kirk says JT doesnt make a 15 tooth sprocket for the gs and that the one i have is meant for kawasaki or yamaha !!! :(
I have a jt 15t front sprocket. tight fit, but it needs to be a tight fit.

That's right. The 15T I got for my '01 was listed as for a Kawasaki, but it fit fine. Just double check that you need the one with or without the flange on the back. BTW the flange goes towards the gearbox side.
can any1 confirm its that specific model sprocket?
its on wooot!
I missed all of the excitement. :x
Did you figure out what was wrong? Was it just an alignment problem?
