Description
ProTaper’s Suzuki front sprocket in 13 tooth is the sprocket most quad and dirt bike guys reach for when the stock steel piece is chewed up or they want to drop a tooth for tighter woods gearing. It starts life as case-hardened, core-refined chromoly steel, then gets CNC machined and internally broached so the splines index onto your countershaft with zero slop. That precision matters more than most riders realize, because a sprocket that runs even slightly out of true will chew through a chain in a single hard moto.
What makes this one worth the upgrade:
- Case-hardened, core-refined chromoly steel for a hard wear surface backed by a tough core
- CNC machining and internal broaching hold tolerances tighter than stamped OEM sprockets
- Computer-engineered tooth profile keeps chain drag to a minimum for more usable horsepower at the wheel
- Proprietary surface coating resists corrosion and slows wear even when the sprocket lives in mud and standing water
- Balanced design reduces vibration transfer into the countershaft seal and bearing
Thirteen teeth on the front end is a common swap for riders chasing acceleration out of tight corners, and pairing it with the correct rear tooth count keeps your final drive ratio in a usable range. This part carries ProTaper part number 038359 and is built for Suzuki applications, so double check your model year against the fitment chart or reach out to IPD Racing before you order if you are running anything unusual. Every unit ships from a stocked warehouse so it lands fast.
