While on the same subject....
Do you think mines is ok?
Was doing a spot of cleaning as weather is rubbish as usual in Glasgow, not sure if this has been upgraded or not?
Cheers.

It's quite simple, if you can see any threads at all it's the old 9mm nut.
You can see in the photo the new 12mm nut totally covers all of the threads and is flush with the end of the shaft.
More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.
That what I was thinking initially too, however OEM front sprocket has 8 holes and a big red rubber thingy attached which any of aftermarket ones lack. Look at riedrider photo and you will see it.
I have digged out in forums and although nobody so far is sure why is that (given the fact that is the only sprocket in the world that has such feature) some guys suggested that may something to do with noise and calming the chain movement. I have looked at pictures of some old used ones and you can see clearly the marks from the chain there too.
Anyhow long story short the price difference for the front one is not so huge as for the rear one, OEM one is £24 any aftermarket is around £10.
Hence I decided to go for OEM front and Renthal rear :-)

Same difference.
Companies can make up any part number they want, to suit them.

Are you not changing the chain?

Just a thought, is one original part number and the other is the 'upgraded' part number?

Not likely given the fact that on BOTH places where they sell 4TV-17460-00 AND 3HE-17460-00 Fowlers have the old 9mm nut as their part number for sale, LOL: 90179-18020
I even will not bother to speak with Fowlers parts department, if you can't fix your parts referal system what is the point to speak with somebody over the phone to hear him saying "you will be fine trust me" LOL

Yeah, some parts people are a pain!
There's two threads at the moment about this front sprocket, reading between the two, I'll need to be looking into doing the front, as well as a chain, may as well do the back one too. Onto the bank manager now :eek

Normal to just buy a DID X ring sprocket and chain kit, makes life much simpler.
some difference in prices there, guess the expensive ones include the two sprockets as well, need to investigate, any recommendations from anyone?
[/quote]
The first one is £84 the second is £61 and I am not convinced yet which one I will get. At the end of the day the chain life mostly depends how you maintain it, so not 100% convinced I need to splash say £140 for some super duper extra heavy duty extreme gold whatnot XXYZ chain that will do the same job and last the same as well maintained but high qulaity Tsubaki O-rin for £60.
I have the feeling we may fall victims of marketing bollocks from chain manufacturers trying to get some money from us :lol hope not :rolleyes

Gold ones are more expensive, and look lovely when new, but if you ride in all weathers like me, all year round, then it soon gets covered in shit, unless you feel the urge to clean it all the time which makes no sense.
Some are just chains, rather than kits, that's why the prices vary.

You don't need extra heavy duty, it's been talked about before.
Nobody has really cared about the rubber thing either, and i've not heard anyone complain that it's not there or being missed.
More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.
Yeah it's all food for thought and down to personal preference
What's the difference in front and rear sprocket numbers? I see some kits have 15 & 48, just wondering if it's worth going for different sizes and what it'd do?
