FAQs
What is the warranty period for this JT Sprocket?
This JT Sprocket comes with a 1-year warranty.
Is this sprocket suitable for all Yamaha DT125R models?
This specific sprocket (JTF558.17) is designed for Yamaha DT125R models from 1988 to 2002. Always confirm your motorcycle's model year for compatibility.
How does a 17-tooth front sprocket affect performance?
A 17-tooth front sprocket typically offers a balance between acceleration and top-end speed. Compared to a smaller front sprocket, it will provide slightly less acceleration but a higher potential top speed. Conversely, compared to a larger front sprocket, it offers more acceleration but a lower top speed.
How often should I clean and lubricate my drive chain and sprocket?
For optimal performance and longevity, it is recommended to clean and lubricate your drive chain and sprocket every 500-700 miles, or more frequently if riding in wet, dirty, or dusty conditions.
Can I use this sprocket with any drive chain?
While this sprocket is designed to fit the Yamaha DT125R, it's best to use it with a drive chain that is compatible with the sprocket's pitch and width, as specified for your motorcycle model. Using an incompatible chain can lead to premature wear or failure.
What does 'JT Sprocket' mean?
JT Sprocket is a brand that manufactures aftermarket sprockets and other drivetrain components for motorcycles and other vehicles.
Troubleshooting
Sprocket does not fit correctly
Double-check the motorcycle's model year and ensure it falls within the 1988-2002 range specified. Verify the part number JTF558.17 matches your needs. Confirm you are attempting to install it on the correct shaft (front countershaft).
Excessive chain noise or vibration after installation
Ensure the drive chain is correctly tensioned according to your service manual. Check that the sprocket is mounted securely and that no debris is caught between the sprocket and the engine casing. Inspect the chain for wear or damage.
Premature wear on the sprocket teeth
This can be caused by poor chain lubrication, incorrect chain tension, or riding in extremely abrasive conditions. Ensure the chain is regularly cleaned, lubricated, and properly tensioned. Consider using a chain guard if one was not previously fitted.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This JT Sprocket is specifically designed for the Yamaha DT125R models produced between 1988 and 2002. Always verify your motorcycle's exact model year and existing sprocket size to ensure a correct fit. The manufacturer part number is JTF558.17.

A properly maintained drivetrain will extend the life of both the sprocket and the chain.
