FAQs
Does this sprocket fit all 520 chains?
Yes, it is designed for 520-pitch chains, but you must ensure the mounting bolt pattern matches your specific motorcycle hub.
Can I use this with a different pitch chain?
No, this sprocket must be used exclusively with a 520-pitch chain for safe and correct operation.
Does the black finish fade over time?
The finish is designed for durability, but like all external motorcycle components, it may show minor wear based on exposure to road debris and cleaning chemicals.
Should I replace my chain when I install this sprocket?
It is highly recommended to replace the entire chain and sprocket set (drivetrain kit) to ensure all components wear together uniformly.
Is any special hardware required for installation?
You should use your motorcycle's original mounting hardware, provided it is in good condition and free from thread damage.
Troubleshooting
Excessive chain noise after installation
Verify that the rear wheel is perfectly aligned and the chain tension is adjusted to manufacturer specifications.
Sprocket teeth showing premature wear
Check that your front sprocket and chain are not worn; replacing only one component can cause accelerated wear on the others.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation should be performed on a stable paddock stand or lift. Begin by loosening the rear axle and sliding the wheel forward to gain enough slack to remove the old chain. Unbolt the existing sprocket from the hub and mount the ESJOT unit, ensuring all bolts are torqued to the manufacturer's specific settings. Always pair a new rear sprocket with a new chain and front sprocket to ensure even wear patterns. Maintain the component by regularly cleaning road grime and applying high-quality chain lubricant. Periodically inspect the teeth for 'hooking' or signs of thinning, which indicate the sprocket has reached the end of its functional life.
