Description
There is a reason experienced Suzuki riders keep a spare front sprocket in the toolbox, and it is the same reason we stock this 13 tooth ProTaper front sprocket in volume: front sprockets wear faster than rear ones and a hooked tooth profile will destroy a good chain in short order. ProTaper starts with case-hardened, core-refined chromoly steel, then CNC machines and internally broaches the piece for a tight, accurate fit at the countershaft.
Why this sprocket outlasts stamped originals:
- Chromoly steel with a hardened case for wear resistance and a tough, ductile core
- Internally broached bore for a precise, slop-free fit on the countershaft splines
- Computer-engineered profile minimizes drag and keeps power getting to the ground
- Corrosion-resistant coating extends service life in wet or muddy conditions
- Careful balancing reduces vibration that would otherwise stress the seal and bearing
Thirteen teeth up front is a common baseline gearing for Suzuki quads and dirt machines, and swapping this sprocket alongside a fresh chain keeps your drivetrain running true instead of wearing unevenly. Part number 038344 ships from IPD Racing’s stocked warehouse and is backed by ProTaper as the manufacturer. Contact us first if your model or year is outside the usual Suzuki fitment range.
