Sprockets

Sprockets work in conjunction with the drive chain to transfer power from the engine to the wheels. They are key components in the drivetrain system, helping to control the bike's speed and acceleration by regulating the chain's movement.

Installing sprockets is possible for experienced DIY mechanics. However, it requires careful attention to detail when aligning the sprockets and chain. If you're not familiar with the process, professional installation is recommended.

Sprockets should be replaced when they show signs of wear, such as worn or chipped teeth, or if they become misaligned. Regular inspection for chain and sprocket wear will help determine when a replacement is needed.

Sprockets typically need replacement when the teeth become worn down or when they start to show signs of significant damage. It’s often a good idea to replace both the chain and sprockets together to maintain optimal performance.
