Motorcycle riders, listen up! If you're doing a chain and sprocket service or a popular 520 pitch chain conversion on your Yamaha sportbike or standard, this NICHE front sprocket is a reliable and affordable option. It's a 17-tooth front drive sprocket with a 520 pitch, designed to directly replace the Yamaha OEM part number 3CV-17460-00-00. It's made from tough SAE 1023 carbon steel, finished with sandblasting and an electrophoresis coating for corrosion resistance and durability. This sprocket is compatible with a range of classic and modern Yamahas, including: the 1984-1985 FJ1100, 1986-1993 FJ1200 models, the 2006-2014 FZ1 and 2015 FZS1 (when converting from the stock 530 pitch to a 520 setup), and the 2004-2006 & 2010-2012 YZF-R1 (also for 520 conversions). The hub inner diameters are 26mm and 30mm – check your bike's countershaft for fit. Why switch to a 520 pitch chain/sprocket set? It's lighter than a 530 setup, which can reduce rotational mass for a slight performance gain. Remember, sprockets and chain must always be replaced as a matched set with the same pitch. This NICHE sprocket is a quality aftermarket part that provides great value. Before installing, always inspect your old sprocket for wear (hooked or sharp teeth are a sure sign) and replace the chain at the same time. A fresh sprocket ensures smooth power transfer, reduces wear on your new chain, and keeps your bike running right. A solid choice for your next maintenance project.
