Product Information
Full details
The JT Sprockets Steel Rear Sprocket (A51184354) is designed for motorcycle enthusiasts and maintenance-focused riders who demand long-term durability and consistent power transfer. Engineered for high strength with a weight-optimized profile, this sprocket provides a reliable, cost-effective upgrade for daily commuting or heavy-duty use. The primary caveat is that, as a steel component, it is heavier than aluminum alternatives, meaning riders prioritizing professional-level weight savings for racing might need to consider other specialized alloy options.

FAQs
Is this sprocket compatible with all motorcycle chains?
This sprocket is designed for specific chain pitches and widths. Always verify that your chain size (e.g., 520, 525, 530) matches the requirements of both the sprocket and your motorcycle.
How often should I replace the sprocket?
Replace the sprocket whenever you replace the chain, or sooner if you observe teeth becoming sharp, hooked, or significantly thinned.
Does this sprocket come with mounting hardware?
Mounting hardware is typically not included. It is recommended to use your existing high-quality hardware or purchase new OEM-specified bolts.
Is steel better than aluminum for my bike?
Steel is generally better for durability, longevity, and cost-effectiveness. Aluminum is only preferred if you are specifically looking to reduce unsprung weight for competitive racing.
Can I use this for off-road riding?
Yes, the durability of steel makes it a popular choice for off-road and adventure riding where rocks and debris can quickly wear down softer materials.
Troubleshooting
Increased drivetrain noise
Check chain tension and ensure the chain is properly lubricated; loose or dry chains cause significant friction.
Premature wear on teeth
Verify that your chain is not stretched or kinked, as a worn chain will quickly damage a new sprocket.
Sprocket appears loose after installation
Re-check that all mounting bolts are torqued to the correct specifications and that the sprocket is correctly seated on the hub spline or carrier.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional durability compared to aluminum sprockets
- Excellent value for high-mileage riders
- Maintains teeth integrity over long service intervals
- High-strength steel construction reduces risk of deformation
Cons
- Heavier weight than specialized racing aluminum sprockets
- Requires regular lubrication to prevent rust and friction wear
- Steel can be more susceptible to surface oxidation if not maintained
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation should be performed by someone familiar with motorcycle drivetrain systems. Always ensure the sprocket is flush against the hub and that mounting bolts are torqued to the manufacturer's specified values. Use a thread-locking compound where recommended by the bike manufacturer. For care, keep the drive chain properly tensioned and lubricated at all times; a dry or improperly tensioned chain will drastically accelerate the wear of the steel teeth. Periodically check for any sharp edges or 'hooking' on the sprocket teeth, which indicates the chain has stretched and the entire drivetrain needs replacement.
