JT sprockets any good?

95teggy · Mar 4, 2015

Anyone have any experience with JT sprockets? I'm shopping for steel sprockets and I can get front and rear JT sprockets for $67, whereas the Renthal F/Rear costs $140.

Are the Renthal's actually worth twice the price?

I use the Jt sprockets and have never had an issue. The renthal are not steel and will wear much much faster, trade off for being lighter if you care.

For street the cheapest steel sprockets are probably the way to go

AFAM is about the same price as JT.

JT have been around for a LONG time, they make decent gear.

Any idea how long these JT sprockets last?
My factory sprockets lasted 35k and still looks fairly good, hoping to get something similar with the next set.

Did you get the AFAM steel or aluminum? And where did you get it from?

GP has the AFAM rear steel for $90

AFAM Steel front for $27 at riders choice. i believe the rear would have been about $40 but they didnt have the tooth count i wanted for my bike (afam doesnt make it), so i got a steel driven rear...which was about $80..

If you want something very light but still steel check out Drive Systems USA rear sprockets. I usually go with one of them and a Driven drilled out front sprocket, super light combo: http://www.superbikesupply.com/mm5/...awasaki&Category_Code=520-conversion-kawasaki (link is for Kawi based on your avatar, but they sell for every brand).

Used JT on my last 1000 and the sprockets still looked fine when I sold the bike with 30k+ on those sprockets.
