FAQs
What does '46T' mean?
'46T' refers to the number of teeth on the rear sprocket, which is 46 in this case. This count influences the motorcycle's gear ratio, affecting acceleration and top speed.
Is this sprocket suitable for all Yamaha FZ1 models?
No, this specific sprocket (JTR479.46ZBK) is designed for the Yamaha FZ1 1000 N model years 2006 through 2014 only. Always confirm compatibility with your motorcycle's exact specifications.
What is 'Induction Hardened'?
Induction hardening is a heat treatment process that hardens the surface of metal parts, like sprocket teeth, making them significantly more resistant to wear and extending their lifespan.
What is the benefit of the Black/Zinc finish?
The Black/Zinc finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance, protecting the steel sprocket from rust and environmental damage, while also offering a distinct aesthetic.
Do I need to change my front sprocket when installing this rear sprocket?
While not always mandatory, it is often recommended to replace the front and rear sprockets along with the drive chain as a set for optimal performance and longevity. Changing only one component can lead to uneven wear. If you change the front sprocket, ensure the resulting gear ratio meets your riding needs.
How often should I lubricate my chain with this sprocket?
Chain lubrication frequency depends on riding conditions, but a general guideline is every 300-500 miles, or after riding in wet conditions. Consistent lubrication is key to maximizing the life of your sprocket and chain.
Troubleshooting
Sprocket does not fit the rear wheel hub.
Verify that the sprocket model (JTR479.46ZBK) and your motorcycle's make, model, and year (Yamaha FZ1 1000 N, 2006-2014) precisely match. Ensure no foreign debris is present on the hub or sprocket mounting surface.
Excessive chain noise or vibration after installation.
Check that the chain is properly aligned and has the correct tension. Ensure the new sprocket is seated flush against the hub and that all bolts are torqued to specification. The chain and sprocket may need a break-in period.
Premature wear on sprocket teeth.
Ensure the drive chain is consistently lubricated and clean. Verify correct chain tension and alignment. Using a chain and sprocket combination from the same manufacturer or series can also prevent premature wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This JT rear sprocket (MPN: JTR479.46ZBK) is specifically designed for the Yamaha FZ1 1000 N models manufactured between 2006 and 2014. Always verify your motorcycle's exact model and year to ensure correct fitment. It is intended to be used with a compatible chain and front sprocket.
Setup: Installation of a rear sprocket typically involves removing the rear wheel, detaching the old sprocket, and mounting the new one. It is crucial that the sprocket is seated correctly and all mounting hardware is torqued to the manufacturer's specifications. For optimal performance and safety, it is highly recommended that sprocket replacement be performed by a qualified motorcycle mechanic.
Care: To maintain the longevity and performance of your JT Induction Sprocket, regular cleaning and lubrication of the drive chain are essential. Use a mild degreaser to clean the sprocket and chain, followed by a suitable motorcycle chain lubricant. Avoid abrasive cleaners or high-pressure washing directly on the sprocket and chain, as this can displace lubricant and accelerate wear. Inspect the sprocket teeth for signs of wear or damage periodically.
