This 15-tooth heavy-duty steel front sprocket is a precision-machined countershaft sprocket designed for motorcycles running a 525 pitch drive chain. Fitting a 15-tooth front sprocket modifies your final drive ratio — fewer teeth on the front sprocket results in taller gearing, meaning higher engine revs at any given road speed.
Key Features:
- 15-tooth countershaft sprocket for 525 pitch chain
- Heavy-duty precision-machined steel for strength and reliable power delivery
- Modifies final drive ratio for taller gearing and higher rev range
- Compatible with a wide range of motorcycles using a 525-pitch chain
What does a 15T front sprocket do to performance?
Fitting a smaller front sprocket raises the overall gearing ratio, which can improve top-end speed potential but requires the engine to rev higher at everyday speeds. For more torque and acceleration, a larger front sprocket or a smaller rear sprocket would achieve the opposite effect.
Frequently Asked Questions
What chain pitch does this suit? This sprocket is designed for 525-pitch chains. Always confirm your existing chain pitch before purchasing.
Will this affect my fuel consumption? Taller gearing can influence fuel efficiency depending on your riding style and engine characteristics.
Should I replace my chain and rear sprocket at the same time? Yes. Replacing all three drivetrain components together ensures even wear and maximises longevity.
