For the record, Leanne said I always break stuff on my bike from doing too many wheelies. I asked her what else (besides the $60 sprocket today) had I broken on my bike and she said "the speedo cable". That was 2 years ago! :lol:
Handlebar?.........Remember that one.

Fark Nelso, I have had no problem with my Vortex alloy sprocket, in fact I have had several.

Then again, your bike does wheelie easily, I must have found that sweet spot in second the day I rode it......cause it just popped up, I dont ever use the clutch to do wheelies ;)

Did you get it from Superbike Supply? If so I'd just sent Tim the pic and see if he is able to do anything, you never know.

:lol: Disco just got a new roadie :kuda: Your not touching my bike :lol:
I wonder if Disco will make the claim that his bike doesn't wheelie again? :lol:
We'll know in short order if it does or not ;) Sorry Disco.....it just popped up :lol:

I had to order a new sprocket from a local shop so that I could get it here before the weekend as it runs out of rego today. :roll: Since I already had a 42 tooth coming from the US I decided to get a 44 tooth and a new chain to go with it. -1 on the front and +2 on the rear should liven things up a bit. :twisted: Hello 3rd gear wheelies, here I come. :lol:

The OEM ones don't break, just the cheap shit aftermarket ones. Mind you at 100 clams, they aren't that cheap. :? AUSFR didn't end up coming to the party with them either. :roll:

Apparently the Renthal aluminium rear sprockets are not much better than the Vortex sprocket you destroyed

I almost bought a Vortex rear sprocket I found cheap on ebay but luckily I read about them being made of poor quality soft aluminium so I found an new AFAM rear sprocket & a new Renthal ultralight front sprocket & got them both together for $70 incl postage from the USA
