GSX 1100 ET

[bigyellowthing]

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

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.

Cheers Wraith.

Is there any alternative to a £60 job or should I just stop being a cheapskate?

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.

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.

Yep, that's another alternative but you'll have to do a full 525 conversion.

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.
