sprockets
Its time to change the chain after 28K miles of hard core riding.
I whant to know if I have to replace the sprockets 2, they look fine to me.
If so.... what is a good replaccement sprocket, that last.
Please share your experience.
Thanks

Marcos,
Personally I always replace both sprockets due to the possibility of uneven wear. I also prefer the steel sprockets. My .02!

I ride hard too, and noticed the aluminum rear wears very very quickly. I put steel back on.
My chain is adjusted, lubed,and lined up to the best of my ability. Some will say they last as long as steel, but this was my experience with them.

If You want the sprockets to last don't go aluminium route. They wear fast...On my brothers KTM it's the rear sprocket that's always the first one to replace. Of course You get the bonus of less unsprung weight but with the price of more often replacements.
