Description
Bumping the front sprocket up to 14 teeth is a popular move for Suzuki owners who want a bit more top-end pull without giving up too much snap out of corners, and this ProTaper unit is machined to hold that gearing choice reliably for the long haul. It is built from case-hardened, core-refined chromoly steel and finished with CNC machining plus internal broaching so the fit at your countershaft splines is precise from the first install.
Where the engineering shows up:
- Case-hardened chromoly steel resists tooth wear while the core stays tough against shock loads
- Internally broached bore locks onto the countershaft with no play
- Computer-designed tooth profile reduces chain drag for cleaner power delivery
- Proprietary coating slows corrosion and abrasive wear in dirty, wet riding conditions
- Precision balancing keeps vibration low at speed
Fourteen teeth is a common step up from stock on many Suzuki models, and this sprocket is engineered to that spec rather than adapted from a different tooth count, so wear patterns stay even and chain life improves. This is part number 038377, genuine ProTaper, stocked and shipped by IPD Racing. If you are unsure whether 14T is the right call for your gearing setup, our team can walk you through the tradeoffs before you buy.
