NICHE DRIVE SPROCKET
What is a Drive Sprocket?
- Sprockets are rotating parts with teeth that are used in conjunction with a chain to transmit power
- In order for sprockets and chain to be compatible with each other they must both have the same thickness and pitch.
- In order for the sprockets and chain to work effectively, all of the sprockets should be on parallel shafts with their corresponding teeth on the same plane.
Parts of a Sprocket
- Number of Teeth - The total number of teeth (projections) around the whole circumference of a sprocket
- Pitch Diameter (PD) - An imaginary circle which is traced by the center of the chain pins when the sprocket rotates while meshed with a chain
- Pitch - The amount of pitch diameter in inches per tooth. Gears with a larger pitch will have bigger teeth
When to Replace?
- Check how well the chain meshes with the sprocket teeth. In a healthy chain and sprocket combo, the individual chain rollers align perfectly with the spaces between the sprocket teeth and fit down into those U-shaped grooves evenly
- Look closely at the sprocket teeth to see if they have become sharp at the tips and/or slightly curled. The teeth on a new sprocket are straight and have a flat or domed shape at the tip, If the teeth are sharp, the sprocket is worn

When installing the final drive sprocket, I had difficulties getting it to fit. I then noticed that the tabs were welded on crooked and were not spaced evenly. The metal seems to be of good quality. However, especially when compared to the Honda part, the manufacturing processed looks rushed.Update: the warranty people were very pleasant to deal with.I know how difficult it is to find old Honda parts, and I am thankful that at least one company on Amazon is still making these at a reasonable price.

I have an xr80r. The r was the difference apparently between it fitting or not because the chain was way too big And the sprocket didn’t bolt up the same at all, only thing that matched was the front sprocket.
