Got the last batch of 5/8th offsets from JT Sprockets.

Got a deal for bulk purchase organised by Mark (pigford).

Needing a 5/8th offset with GPZ splines myself now.

Might be worth seeing if anyone else needs the same and put an order in.

Think it was Talon. They are in Yeovil just down the road from the pig stye. I spoke to them two weeks ago about this and they said that the balance of the order goes to Ray at Debben Performance. ie. they had none left. Could be in the market myself.

530 / maybe 17 tooth with maybe 3/8 or 5/8 offset.

You will need same as mine. 5/8 th's, 19t for max swingarm clearance, etc.



Little bit of tech info that applies to the kickstart motors and frames.
Would have thought it should be similar for the later stuff.

5/8th is the most offset that can be run with std frame.
180 section tyre is the widest that can be run with wheel in true center and no chain/tyre interface.

Inner face of offset sprocket is approx 101mm from center line of frame.

With 180 tyre ( which most usually actually measure 185mm) leaves 8.5mm between inner sprocket face and tyre edge (101mm minus half of 185 = 92.5 = 8.5mm)

Just enough for the chain side plates to clear whether using 530 or 630 pitch.

630 pitch though does run very close to the frame near the swingarm pivot.
Kawasakis manufactuing tolerances will determine whether the chain rivets will clear the paint or not.

Last batch I got from TALON earlier this year (for a group of us Z1OC chaps) were 5/8" 19t 530 with snub nose (for outrigger bearing) = £33 each :P

i used a 89 zx10 front sprocket on my z1100r works with a gsxr 4.5 inch rear 160 tyre or 5 inch zrx wheel with a 170/180. zzr11 sprocket would offer a little more offset. 530 chain .
