I've been looking all over the internet and no one sells front sprockets for the GS. I need a 14T for the summer cause I won't be commuting anymore and wanna have some fun. Will a GSXR or Kat sprocket fit?

That seems like a good place.

thanks for the reply. is this the guy i want? http://www.sprocketspecialists.com/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=15333
i have a 05 F model, but i think it's the same ???
would a local dealer have one...sorry for the thread jack, was wondering this myself.
prolly, but i'm on impulse buying mode so i want one NOW!!! :icon_mrgreen: plus my local shop take 2 weeks to get something too me. They sell 11T sprockets for this bike. :o None of that sounds like a good idea.
The splines are the same as the GSXR, TL, SV. It will need to be for a 520 chain. Some sprockets have a shoulder. I have a GSXR front sprocket with a shoulder on my 97.

That Sprocket Specialists 504 will fit all years of GS's, it's the one I get from Chaparral since they have good price on the DID chain I use.
The SS 504 has no hub on it and your bike and all GS's since 93 have a hub, sprocket will align itself from rear sprocket. No spacer required.
hub=shoulder :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
I am using a 514X 15T sprocket.
I only paid 9.99 for mine it a JT13 but all fronts where the same price.
I'll look tonight to who I bought it from.
alright bought that sprocket, now i can try a wheelie...
In a empty parking lot with full gear on, of course.
Don't forget a buddy with a fire extinguisher and cell phone to call the ambulance :thumb: :laugh: Seriously, you pop the clutch with enough rev's and it's gonna flip on top of you :o
yeah i'm doing to try to avoid the dumping part. how much am i going to need to tighten my chain with the 14T?
I only had to move my wheel out one notch on the little scale provided on the swingarm at first. i'm backed almost all the way out now :icon_confused: Time for a new chain :icon_confused: The first one with my 14t I almost dumped, the guys around me said it was probably about a 75 degree angle :o
thats gettin her up. Is it possible to pull it up in 1st without clutching it with the 14T, or do you still need to clutch it? I've popped my wheel up maybe an inch or two but thats about it with my 16T.
It'll pull up but not much :cry: Also whatever you do don't just let go of the throttle while your up............very bad idea :o light rear brake pressure will bring ya back down to the ground just fine
thanks for the tip, i'll let you know how it goes. :thumb:
With my 13T I pull a lot harder but will not come up no matter how much I give it. I've not tried to clutch it up becuase I'm not a wheelie fan, but I'm sure it would. My goal was quick twisties.
future reference... get your rear sprocket off e-bay...

I dunno how i feel about buying parts on ebay. i'd buy cosmetic stuff, but a sprocket is kinda important and I know there are alot of fakes on there. I don't mind paying a few more bucks if it's good quality. How long a rear sprocket last? I've only got like 3500 on this one and i know they go alot longer than that.
I just bought a rear on ebay, along with a chain. Got both for about $70, shipped... which is what you'd pay for a chain by itself, usually..
All this talk of sprockets, I ordered my 14tooth JT sprocket off of bike bandit yesterday. I don't intend on doing too many wheelies since I weigh in at about 230lbs I'd probably blow my fork seals everytime I came down. That's if the bike could lift me in the first place.
I weigh in at about 230lbs
Light wieght I've got ya by 10 :laugh:

I found the chain and rivet link at Parts411. Can't find the sprockets? I only found "chain and sprocket sets" and they don't have them for the GS500 far as I can tell.

SS front sprocket w/o hub 504-16 or 504-15 $10.96
Never needed a rear sprocket in over 120k GS miles but add $32.96 for a SS steel rear sprocket if you must. :)
Total $101.12 plus shipping for set.

Jack I feel like a schmuck asking you basically the exact same thing I just asked the previous poster... I cannot find those sprockets on Chaparral's site. Even by searching for "Sprocket Specialists" and clicking all the 16 and 39 tooth sprockets that pop up, they are not the same model numbers. Do I just need to call them and talk to a real person? :dunno_white:
All these posts after i paid $33 shipped. oh well.

I couldn't find the sprockets on either site myself, I looked them up in my Chaparral catalog and that's why I included the Chaparral part #s in my post. Just go to Chaparral page and enter the part number in the search box to the left.

For Parts411 you have to call them and they will look them up for you, just make sure you specify your year because the sprocket changed in '93 or '94 with the addition of a shoulder on the sprocket.
