bigyellowthing Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Hi Guys Anyone know whether a Kawasaki dished sprocket fits an 81 1100? I'm aware of grumpy1260 and performance spares but £60+ seems a touch steep and if there is a readily available alternative... Any help appreciated Quote Link to comment
wraith Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I think output shaft splines are the same on both, the main thing is the Suzuki has a nice big nut to hold it on the kwak has a bolt into the shaft and a tab thing. Quote Link to comment
bigyellowthing Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 Cheers Wraith. Is there any alternative to a £60 job or should I just stop being a cheapskate? Quote Link to comment
Dezza Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 (edited) xfam in Japan sell a range of great quality offset front sprockets for about 60% of the cost in the UK (at least they used to). I have one on my EFE engine and I think someone here later did a bulk buy for mainly gsxr sprockets. The page that listed alll the race sprockets is no more but I remember I filled in the contact form and asked if they did offset sprockets and got one by faxing a credit card number. The sprocket was <30 quid including postage from Japan but that was a few years back though. https://www.xam-japan.co.jp/ Edited June 5, 2019 by Dezza 1 Quote Link to comment
wraith Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I know what you mean, £60 for a front sprocket is a lot. Depends on how much you need to space it out (not the drugs way before anybody gets all high and mighty ) back to the plot, if it's go to 6mm or so you can always use a spacer behind the standard sprocket, any more then that and you will be coming off the shaft splines. Or/and you could remove some meat off the rear sprocket carrier. Quote Link to comment

bigyellowthing Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 Cheers chaps. I'm very grateful for your help. Just to clarify. I have a 530 chain, GSXR 750 (h?k?) Swing arm (machined to fit), 4.5" rim, 160 tyre, twin shocks, and ambition that exceeds my talent. Quote Link to comment
