16 tooth front for zx14?? : Kawasaki ZX Forums: Kawasaki Ninja Forum

ronaldnn@yahoo.com · 04-28-2009, 09:02 PM

I have heard there is a factory 16 tooth front sprocket off an zx 11 I think that is suppose to fit my 14...anyone heard of this and know the year or part number...

thanks,

Ron

No-not heard of that-perhaps true.Just curious-why not just buy a 16 T from Driven(or someone else?).

Factory sprocket is quieter, has a dampner on it...others are noiser..Ron

I have never heard or felt vibration from a front sprocket personally when riding. You might get some sound like gear noise if the chain is too tight.

You must have exceptional hearing or feeling to pick up a loud or vibrating front sprocket.

The only noise I noticed after installing a 16 was a mild whine(and I'm the only one who would notice) at lower speeds.You could tell it wasn't there before-but surely NOTHING to annoy or concern.Sounded kind of cool actually.It has since diminished(about 500 miles or so)but it's still there some-no prob.

I read the same thing at a zx-14 forum, don't remember which one, about the zx-11 16T that fits the 14, I think somebody even wrote down the part #. As for me, I went ahead and ordered a -1/

sprocket set from Driven that should arrive on Monday, will get installed along with the extension kit.

Okay-this is the motorcycle:1995 Kawasaki Zephyr.Go to any parts fiche,look that bike up.Look in "transmission"(I believe it's in that section).16 tooth Zephyr front sprocket.I've got one on mine-with dampers.Fit perfect.I think $26.00?Somewhere around that.Might want to order the washer and zx14 sprocket nut as well.Those part #'s are-washer-92200-0260.Nut,92210-0237.(those are the zx14 parts).

(and no more gear noise either).
