Gday,

So i went to fit my vortex 520 17 tooth front spocket on my 05 sd on the weekend, wouldnt fit, the teeth hit the swingarm, checked online to make sure i had been sent the right part no, confirmed on vortex website but they say for 07-08 sd. I looked at the ktm part nos and they are the same for 05 07+ for the 525 can anyone conform whether the front sprocket for 07-08 should fit an 05-06.

Cheers cameron

As far as I know they are the same.

My money is on it not being a 17 tooth sprocket!

It is a very close fit but not that close.
On the same subject how does everyone join their chain, Link, Rivet or Endless?

Yeah it is a 17 toother i just counted http://www.vortexracing.com says it will fit an sd, vortexsprockets.com only lists 15 and 16 tooth as compatable i would have thought a 17 tooth from one co would be the same diameter as from another? Fit wasnt close either.
