【XAM】PREMIUM Series Rear Sprocket Review
Fits: HONDA CB223S, HONDA FTR223, HONDA GB250 CLUBMAN
Used in FTR223
[How is it used?
Used on FTR223.
Applications:City driving, Touring, Circuit driving, FlatDirt
Used for about 3 years.
ChainMaintenance is performed every 500km.
Was the one you received as per Image?
As you can see in the image, the color of the Bronze is Large, but the Parenthesis is good.
Was the installation difficult?
Removing the rear wheel and sprocket on the FTR223 can be a bit of a challenge, but as long as you have the tools and the motivation, you can do it.
To remove the rear wheel, you need to remove the Circlip.
To remove the sprocket, pull out the sprocket from the rear hub, then grasp the stud bolt with a vise-etc. and loosen the nut to prevent it from turning together.
When installing the unit, make sure that it does not rotate together.
How was your experience with it?
I've been using it for about three years for various purposes and have driven a good amount of miles, but due to the characteristics of this product, I'm not sure if it's worth it. (Although it may have been due to frequent maintenance.) I was able to use it without replacing it.
If you want to use a Duralumin sprocket for as long as possible, this product can be recommended. (Due to the characteristics of the product, it has a surface treatment that improves its lubricity when compared to other companies.)
The weight is naturally lighter than the OEM.
As for the durability comparison between this product and the Duralumin Sprocket made by Sunstar and isa, since I do maintenance frequently, there was no noticeable difference between the two, but the wear of the teeth on this product was slightly slower. (I have experience using SUNSTAR, isa, and XAM.)

[Points and hangs of installation, Items to buy together].
As the installation point or hang, the
Nut should be tightened alternately on the diagonal.
If you have a torque wrench, it is perfect. If you don't have a torque wrench, you can use the above method to tighten the screw so that it doesn't lick.
Items that should be purchased together include
Snap Ring Pliers for Axis (Required)
Nut for fastening (Recommendation)
Torque wrench (Recommendation)
RearMaintenance Stand (Recommendation)

Accurate and lightweight
I bought this for Circuit.
For MINICourse is swinging to the side with the show.
Lighter weight compared to OEM helps reduce load under Spring.

be very light
The brown color is very luxurious. It weighs one-third compared to the existing standby gear. It's quite light, so I'm a bit worried about its durability, but I'm satisfied. View detail
Used on SR400 final
SR400 FINAL Used in OEM condition, exhaust system, intake and exhaust, ignition system and all other systems are full normal.
First, the Front sprocket is set to SUNSTAR SUNSTAR:221-20 Replaced with 19T→20T.
After driving about 500 km at high speed, I felt that I could still make it high geared, so I looked for a Front 21T and found one made by RCE EngineerRing. When we contacted the manufacturer, we found that the product was discontinued and could not be obtained.
Then, we changed our policy to change the rear sprocket and searched for one that was compatible with the OEM428Chain and found the following. The smallest 51T was selected.
I would have preferred Steel for its durability, but could not find it.
XAM XAM PREMIUM Series Rear Sprocket
Item number:A3207X51T
It was nice to be able to install the OEM428Chain as is, with no Conversion required for the 520Size and no Chain piece stuffing.
Now Front20T/Rear51T with reduction ratio 2.55 ← OEM 2.947 19T/56T
In this condition, the Meter reading was 4100 rpm at 100 km/h cruise, and I could drive with the flow without numbness in my hands, even at a crowded highway. After traveling a total of 650 km on the Kita-Kanto, Joshinetsu, Hokuriku, and Kan-Etsu highways in this condition, I have no problem at all cruising at 100 km/h. Overtaking lane 110-120km/h is also possible. It is possible to climb a hill on the highway at 100km/h with 5th gear. The maximum speed in 5th gear is 125km/h. Also, on ordinary roads, 5th gear is useless at speeds below 60km/h, but this is not a problem at all since the car can be driven in 4th gear. In fact, when driving in Bypass, it is possible to drive at 80 km/h in 5th gear at 3000 rpm, which is comfortable and pleasant. Acceleration is reduced, but it is acceptable.
We recommend this Spec. for SR400Rider, which is mainly for touring.
I would like XAM to produce a Stainless Steel Sprocket, and a 50T Sprocket.

Hard DuraluminSprocket
[How is it used?
I bought a high quality Sprocket as the GEAR ratio setting was set (and consequently replaced and removed further …).
Was the one you received as per Image?
The Duralumin shade is very nice, dull and not too flashy. Lightweight and no BALI, very nice shaping.
Was the installation difficult?
General Sprocket replacement can be used.
How was your experience with it?
I don't see the benefit of weight savings … it looks better.
[Included Parts:were they on?
There is no Bolt or Nut, so it is an OEM diversion.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
It's not cosmetic other than the way it looks….

Happiness that there is a wide range of sizes available. I think the products hold up well.
I used to have an image of an aluminum sprocket that would run out quickly and I avoided it, but that was because I was using it on an off-road course, and I wondered if it would hold up well on an on-road course.
In my Motorcycle, I don't remember exactly to the distance, but I think I didn't replace it for 20,000 km....
That product was also XAM's Sprocket.
This time, we decided to replace both the front and rear Sprocket with a new Chain, and chose XAM because it was a minor car model that did not allow us to choose a manufacturer.
XAM is a god that provides even these end sizes.
I don't have any problems with the product, and I think it is very durable. if you have been avoiding Aluminum Sprocket, and especially if you don't drive around a lot of distance, I think you can TRY it once. I think there will be Merit because the weight under the spring will be reduced by the rotating material.
