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!
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.

Forgot about that one. Ok then, two speedo cables, one handlbar and a rear sprocket in the last three years. That's not so bad, is it?

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. 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. Hello 3rd gear wheelies, here I come.

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.

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
