FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Evolite rear sprocket?
The primary benefit is the combination of high-strength, lightweight aerospace-grade aluminum construction and a unique dirt groove designed to reduce wear and extend the lifespan of both the sprocket and the chain.
How do I know if this 50T sprocket is right for my bike?
You need to verify the fitment list provided with the product against your motorcycle's exact make, model, and year. The 50T refers to the number of teeth, which affects gear ratio; this provides more acceleration but less top-end speed compared to a smaller tooth count.
Can I mix and match this sprocket with a non-Apico chain?
Yes, it is designed to be an OEM replacement and should work with most standard aftermarket chains. However, for optimal performance and longevity, using it with a high-quality, compatible chain is recommended.
How often should I clean the dirt groove?
It is recommended to clean the dirt groove after every ride, especially if you ride in muddy, sandy, or dusty conditions. This ensures it functions effectively to prevent debris buildup.
What is the material of the sprocket?
The sprocket is manufactured from durable, CNC machined 7075 aerospace grade aluminum.
What is the difference between this 50T sprocket and a smaller tooth count?
A 50-tooth sprocket offers a more aggressive gear ratio, resulting in quicker acceleration and more low-end torque. A sprocket with fewer teeth (e.g., 48T or 45T) will provide higher top-end speed but less rapid acceleration.
Does this sprocket come with hardware?
This product typically includes the sprocket only. Mounting hardware, such as nuts and bolts, should be reused from the original equipment or purchased separately if needed.
Troubleshooting
Sprocket doesn't fit
Double-check the compatibility list against your motorcycle's exact make, model, and year. Ensure no debris is obstructing the mounting points.
Chain seems loose or too tight after installation
Re-adjust the chain tension according to your motorcycle manufacturer's specifications. Ensure the rear wheel is properly aligned.
Premature wear on sprocket or chain
Ensure the sprocket is clean, especially the dirt groove. Check chain lubrication and alignment. Consider if the riding conditions are excessively abrasive.
Unusual noise from the drivetrain
Inspect the sprocket teeth for damage or debris. Check chain roller movement and ensure all bolts are torqued correctly.

Use appropriate torque settings as specified by your motorcycle manufacturer when fastening the sprocket nuts and bolts. Always ensure the chain is correctly aligned and tensioned after installation.
Care:
To maximize the lifespan and performance of your Apico Evolite Rear Sprocket, regular cleaning is essential. After each ride, especially in muddy or dusty conditions, clean the sprocket and chain thoroughly. Use a degreaser and a stiff brush to remove all dirt and grime, paying special attention to the teeth and the unique dirt groove. A clean sprocket and chain run smoother, reduce wear, and maintain optimal power transfer. Inspect the sprocket teeth for wear regularly; replace the sprocket if signs of significant wear or damage are apparent.
