JT Sprockets JTF520.16RB 16 Tooth Rubber Cushioned Front Countershaft Sprocket, Single

Swapped out my OEM 17t counter shaft spocket on my 2023 Suzuki V Strom 800 DE with this 16t and it was a noticeable difference. The RPMs run a little higher, but with improved low end response. I am pleased with the change, even on long rides on surface streets.

Love JT sprockets. This worked as expected. Great value and fast shipping.

Saw a few reviews saying this was the wrong item as marked. Ordered it anyway bc price was good. It DOES NOT fit a 520 chain, even though it is labeled as such. My guess is that the seller has a batch of defective mislabeled product and is selling it anyway to make some money. Costing me a week of transportation, as my bike is my daily vehicle. Now, I have to print a return label, go to the post office, then find the correct item, wait another week or two, amd then install the new chain. Pain in the azz.

The sprocket fits just like the OEM. I went up a tooth to 16 (stock is 15) and while it does make acceleration a bit slower, bike is less buzzy on the highway; 1st gear is more usable, not as short as it was, 6th gear is good at 65+.If I was going to do this again, I would probably keep the stock 15 and change the rear 2 teeth down (1 front tooth = 3 rear). Overall, Suzuki should have space out the transmission a bit more, or at least the 6th gear for cruising.

I'm a long time JT Sprockets customer, and love their products. After running both the stock 15-tooth and a torquier 14-tooth sprocket, I decided to give this 16-tooth JT Sprocket a shot on my 2004 SV650S. It's also the first time I've purposely installed a rubber cushioned sprocket.Pros:✅ Improved gas mileage – Less revs at highway speeds✅ Still plenty of low-end power – The SV650 handles it well✅ Rubber cushioning reduces noise – Noticeably quieter than non-cushioned sprocketsCons (if you can call it that):⚠️ Less accidental wheelies – So if you like popping up the front, this might tame it a bitFinal Thoughts:Perfect for daily riding and longer trips, especially if you want a quieter, smoother ride with a slight MPG boost. Would definitely buy again!

I haven't had the sprocket on long but it worked for my 2015 v Strom 650 and seemed to help on lowering RPMs at 80 miles an hour

The sprocket fits the CFMoto 450nk shaft, a little loose. It doesn't fit the OEM chain though.Can be used to do a 520 pitch full chain drive conversion (change out chain for a 520 pitch, and both sprockets).The correct sprocket for the CFMoto 450NK is the JTF565.16RB (13-16t), and the JTR897.38 (38, 41, 43T).This sprocket will not fit your stock CFMoto 450 bike!! Only good for chain conversion.May possibly also apply for 450ss, 450MT, 300ss, 300nk, and 700CL-X (verify before purchase).

I HAVE BEEN USING JT SPROCKETS FOR YEARS , VERY GOOD PRODUCTS ‼️
