I put them on the Zed. They work fine. Simple design, but well made and finished.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

NEVER EVER do your own mechanical work! Replacing your own sprockets is just not kosher!
This typical NZ do-it-yourself attitude is just no longer acceptable in this day and age!
We must start following the overseas 'We cannot possibly do anything for ourselves' way of life! It is the only acceptable option we have now!
leave changing sprockets to the official experts! Remember, the official experts know everything!
Kiwi do-it-yourselfers will be an extinct species soon! The official experts have taken over now! The official experts are the REAL experts! Don't argue with the experts! They have official framed certificates!
Never forget that the official experts are special important people! Know your own station in life! This kiwi do-it-yourself foolishness has been going on for far too many decades and this tom-foolery must be stomped on now!
If we let it continue, this country is going to descend to the depths of hell! The official experts say so!
If you want sprockets replaced, take your bike to the official experts! They are the only ones who know how to officially replace sprockets! 7 hours @$85.00 per hour is a small price to pay! Leave your machine in their official expert hands!
Just skimp on meals and delay paying phone and lekky bills for a month. The official experts will ensure your money spent will trickle back down to all members of society.
Everything will be hunky-dory! The official experts know that! The official experts are always right...
P.S. just stirring the self-proclaimed experts around here, The JT Busa 43T rear sprocket I'm using is good quality and it's lasting a long time

I absolutly agree with Viscount As a self certified 'expert' in every thing, I cant stand listening to those imposters who ony think they know everything. It's damn annoying to us who acually do. Only an 'expert' can know how to re install a rear wheel so it is askew in the swingarm frame, the rear brake pedal will now have 2" of freeplay and only an certified expert will know that you use the white wheel rim as a backdrop when spraying chain oil on.
Now who makes JT sprockets??

JT are a well respected brand and I have not had any problems running them for either road racing, road riding and off road riding.

Pretty immature posts on here, I thought common sense would prevail where certain jobs are more complex, can and will go often wrong without experience and knowledge. Even sprocket installation can be messed up but its a much more straightforward job than some others. I just shake my head at some of the rubbish posted on this site by people with little else to do, obviously.

As it turns our there was no correct sized JT front sprocket available...bugger. However, as an example of the sort of service Boyds provide, (despite a certain other thread here on KB), the parts guys spent quite some time finding a "dead stock" Suzuki original front sprocket for me, at a price not too crazy at all - thereby saving me some dollars. Which I appreciate.

Yes, to satisfy a childish sense of humour. I have more respect for those who genuinely put their energy into helping people.

Especially when a question actually requires an answer that can be interpreted by other than a similar ilked fool.
Go have a look at the website for J.T. , its very user fiendly and a very good tool to compare to other than just model application, i use it heaps to sort diff splines and the like to build racebikes. And Mishy will love my plug for such a wonderfull brilliant totally awesome range.

Where's the ride?
JT are a good mid-quality sprocket, have run a few. However, line them up against the likes of ChainGang and they appear pretty crude. +1 on the website, it's great for cross-matching.

Been using them for years on various Road & Race Bikes, good quality at a very reasonable price & they generally have a very good range of options either side of the OE gearing
