High Performance Motorcycle Sprockets
If you ride a sports or trail bike and are looking to increase performance, there are parts available that you can purchase at a reasonable price and fit in a decent time with a moderate degree of mechanical knowledge. Paying attention to the parts that are involved in the bike’s transmission can mean an increase in performance with minimum fuss and effort.
Transmission is the passing of energy created by the engine to the wheel via the chain and sprockets regulated by the gears. By making simple changes to motorcycle sprockets and chains you can effect a significant change in your ride. High performance sprockets certainly look the part over their cheaper and standard rivals. The designs have a high-tec, often space age look with highly polished surfaces or even a coloured metallic finish. They are made of materials other than aluminium, they will most certainly be hard anodised (heat treated) and the top ranges will be made of titanium. It makes sense if you are splashing out on expensive motorcycle sprockets that you invest in a decent chain and also the bolts and pins to secure them to your bike. Bolts also come in a range of specifications and if you’re fitting titanium sprockets, look for titanium bolts/pins.
