WOW! That was a fast response.
Thanks Shadow One.

I used to have the manual downloaded then my computer crashed and lost everything


Plus I am on 56k dial up, which only connects at 28.8

And that file is 12.9 megabytes. I need about 4.0 hours devoted to downloading it.

Thanks again

 

No prob :thumbup

The socket size is either a 32mm, 30mm, or 27mm. I don't remember which. The diameter of the threads is 22mm.

Curses I hate it when I missread the manual

 

Socket size ended up being 36 mm.

Thanks for the replys

And thanks winders for informing me that the 98-02 R1 front sprockets are the same.

Forgot to thank you the other day when I posted that question.

I just got through putting it on, but its raining out and I can't go test the new sprocket.

One question though, I am assuming the sprocket will go on any way.....I mean, I don't see any distinctive marks on the sprocket like rotation direction or spline alignment.

It is a Vortex sprocket.

 

Firstbike,

You're welcome.

36mm? That's bigger than I remember. Heck the axle nut is only 32mm. Interesting.....

If you are installing a 530 front sprocket, the direction does not matter. With a 520 front sprocket, the flat side goes to the inside.
