Fits: YAMAHA YZ450F, YAMAHA YZ400-450F, YAMAHA YZ400, YAMAHA YZ250, YAMAHA YZ250F, YAMAHA YZ125, YAMAHA YZ125X, YAMAHA YZ250X, YAMAHA YZ250FX, YAMAHA YZ450FX, YAMAHA WR250F, YAMAHA WR400F, YAMAHA WR450F
Installed on a WR250R
I'm MOTARDing it with an XWheel, so I replaced it!
The XWheel hubs are Black, so I'm hoping the color and the fact that it's Steel will make it more durable!
A separate taper bolt is required for installation.

I need it enough
The rear sprocket on my DRZ400sm K9, which I bought from a private seller, was a 44T X.A.M. The front one was a stock 15T, but while riding to work, it was hard to handle at low speed and low rpm, and the chain was not moving well. I didn't know how the stock rear sprocket felt like, so I decided to change it to DRZ400sm's stock rear sprocket.
Material in terms of weight:It is heavier than Aluminum's XAM.
The build quality and precision are perfect, and I don't know how the weight affects the driving experience, but I don't feel any loss of lightness compared to the XAM.
Considering the price of Aluminum Sprocket from other manufacturers including XAM, this is enough for me.
The Chain was also replaced at the same time, which greatly improved the smoothness when turning the Wheel by hand.
The durability and other issues will come later, but for me, the biggest concern is the drive shaft that has not been replaced with a countermeasure, so there is nothing to worry about with the Sprocket.
If you are considering purchasing Material:I think it is how to digest the fact that it is heavier than Aluminum.
Frankly, I don't think you need to worry about it unless you are a Level person who can grasp the impact of the difference in weight by feel.
Front was built with the OEM 15T, but it has become quite Mild and easy to ride, so I am thinking of buying a 15T instead of the 14T made in sunstar that I bought at the same time.

If durability is more important than weight, this is the one for you!
I chose this model for its durability since I mainly use it for day touring and walking in the woods. The material is steel, so it is heavier than it looks. I don't think it's necessary to use Aluminum or something like that unless you're going to Race. View detail
Inexpensive and good quality
Wanted a good quality black sprocket, but didn’t want to spend $100 This is the first dura sprocket I've used and for the price the quality seems impeccable!This sprocket looks to be well made, fit good, finish good, wear good,. The fit is spot on and Id say even if it doesn't last as long as other more expensive brands (nothing leads me to believe it wont) its worth the cost. It looks great on the bike and seems very well made. Time will tell.i like the look, but still DRC is making good stuff at affordable prices and don't get me started on the prices these days.fast shipping,great packing.thank you Webike. View detail
Steel Durability and Meatless Sprocket
Since I also made MOTARDWheel to use off-road and street separately, I decided to buy reliable SUNSTAR for the front sprocket and DRC's Sprocket, which was good to use, for the rear sprocket, and looked it up on Webig.
Since the delivery date for the 39T was undecided, I thought there must be a DRCSteel sprocket that I had purchased in the early days of the new car after I placed a BackOrder, so I tracked it down and installed it anyway.
But it arrived ahead of schedule.
I felt that it was better to buy Spare when it was available, as times are not kind to older models these days, so I immediately placed an order for it.
Often, when I thought that I would buy it again sometime soon, it was discontinued. I have made several mistakes because of this.
The feel is the same as we have known before.
To install the sprocket, insert the Hexagonal Wrench into the Bolt side and hold it down while turning the nut on the reverse side to secure and loosen the bolt without damaging the bolt.

not conforming
I purchased this bolt to install on my MotorcycleXR250R (me08) 1998, but the bolt seat is not taper and the bolt hole diameter is for M10. I have been waiting for the return and exchange, but I have not heard anything from them. I have not been able to contact the company to inquire about the return. I tried to enter my vehicle information when I purchased the product, but I could not enter the year of my XR250R. I thought it was an ALL MODEL model, so I purchased it. View detail
