It is standard practice to replace the front sprocket, rear sprocket, and chain as a complete set every 15,000 to 20,000 miles, or sooner if you observe shark-fin shaped wear on the teeth.
No, the package typically includes the sprocket only. You should reuse existing hardware if in good condition or purchase new OEM-specified bolts and washers.
If you have access to a motorcycle service manual and the proper tools, including a torque wrench and a way to lock the transmission, it is a manageable task for an experienced DIYer.
Using a new sprocket with a worn chain will cause the new sprocket to wear out prematurely due to mismatched pitch spacing and increased friction.
Cross-reference the MPN 726.01.28 with your motorcycle's specific model year and manufacturer drivetrain compatibility charts.
Check chain tension and ensure the sprocket is fully seated and tightened to specifications.
Verify that the rear sprocket and front sprocket are perfectly aligned; adjust the rear wheel axle alignment if necessary.
Inspect the sprocket for hooked teeth and ensure the chain itself is not stretched beyond its wear limit.
Before installation, ensure the `726.01.28` part number matches your specific motorcycle model and chain pitch. Installation involves removing the front sprocket cover, securing the transmission output shaft, and torqueing the retaining nut or bolt to the vehicle manufacturer's specified value. Always replace the locking washer if applicable. For maintenance, clean the sprocket area regularly to remove road grime and chain lube buildup. Use a high-quality chain lubricant and inspect the teeth every 3,000 miles for signs of 'hooking' or uneven wear, which indicates it is time for a replacement.
