I'm cross-posting this from the EBR 1190 owners group Facebook. A guy named Dallas Beranek has been in contact with Supersprox about making sprockets for EBR bikes. They've already added a rear sprocket to their listings. Their design uses an aluminum carrier with a separate steel toothed section which gives both light weight and long wear (supposedly 3 times the life of an aluminum sprocket). They've indicated they'll develop a front sprocket if there's sufficient interest:
So, if you're interested, please post up on Facebook. If you're not on Facebook, post here and I'll let him know about the interest. | ||

Interested! In both front and rear actually. | ||
| Hughlysses |
Rear is already available. You can go to their website and order. | ||

Thank you for the heads up, I had not seen that post, I expressed my interest there. | ||

I don't FB, but I'm in. I am assuming that the "consumable" sprocket will be available in 16-18 tooth designs? | ||
| Hughlysses |
^ Yes, something like that. | ||

Would be cool for those that put miles on their bikes...or maybe for those that feel the need to change the drive ratio. I've got over 30,000 miles on my RX with very little sign of tooth wear on the front sprocket. Pretty tuff material what-ever it may be. I do have a second factory unit in the box waiting...in case of it being needed. Mike | ||

I've got over 30,000 miles on my RX with very little sign of tooth wear on the front sprocket. That's pretty impressive, and good to know. I'm under the impression that some guys have worn them out at FAR lower mileages. | ||

Chain drives are much more efficient than either cordon shaft/gear or belt drives, but it comes at the cost of good cleaning and lubrication regimen. Frequent cleaning and lubrication, like every 1000 miles, will deliver very long life. | ||

I'd certainly be interested, and would like to be informed of any updates. | ||

I've got a SX, I'm on my third rear sprocket, second chain and front sprocket with around 11K mileage on it. Since this is prototype/special order, how about going to a 530 sprockets and chain set up. A whole lot more durable given the horsepower these beast make, just a thought. I'm not concerned about the extra weight going to a 530 set up, my 16' Triumph Speed Triple R comes stock with it and steel sprockets last a long time if chain kept adjusted correctly! Either way, I'd be interested prefer a 530 set up though! | ||

Dual - How did you wear out sprockets and chains in 11,000 miles..? As noted above, I've got over 30,000 miles on the original sprockets. The chain is #2 only because something got caught in the hole in the swingarm (a chunk of tire I think) and pushed the chain out and into the swingarm. Stretched it in a sideways orientation, so I replace it. It's condition before that, it would have made it last as the sprockets have. Mike | ||

I guess I have a tendency to ride it like I stole it, lol I found that the rear aluminum sprocket,wears quickly, most have been changed as preventative maintenance prior to week of vacation on the motorcycle. | ||

Hey,Anybody got an update on front sprockets? | ||
| Lowlyfe |
Is the sprockets front and rear available for a xb9r as well... If so I'm interested fo sho | ||
| 1_mike |
"Sprockets"...no. "Pulleys", I know rear's are available from different places, not sure about front pulleys. I've never looked. The internet is your friend, just type the desired item into Google" and see what happens..! But under normal conditions, there is very little wear on the XB pulleys. They could most probably go the bikes life time without having to be replaced. As long as you leave all the protection in place. Mike | ||

A 10 second lookup found this - https://www.jpcycles.com/product/601-391?mrkgcl=44 4&mrkgadid=2972291923&rkg_id=h-d874f310a505ffe86e3 a629cd6c7c6c4_t-1513789392&utm_term=&siteid=NB_G_P LA&product_id=601-391&adpos=1o2&creative=677306014 90&device=c&matchtype=&network=g&gclid=EAIaIQobChM I47LK9YiZ2AIVmMpkCh24cQFQEAQYAiABEgLT_vD_BwE Call them, they may have the pulley you need, or know where to get one.

If it has teeth on it, it's a sprocket. Doesn't matter if it's powering a belt or a chain. Pulleys work by friction, like on V-belts on cars. | ||

Hugh - Nope...not so much. Try to order a blower "sprocket" for a drag racer. You'll get laughed out of ANY racing shop. Out of "Webster's" - ""Pulley - a wheel used to transmit power by means of a band, belt, cord, rope, or chain passing over its rim"" You got it BACKWARD according to Webster..! Mike | ||

Is this the 'engine' vs. 'motor' thing again? Zero ducks given  | ||
| Crusty |
Well; while you guys hash it out, I think I'll fire up my enginecycle and go for a ride. | ||

I still can't go anywhere...apart for my yearly valve check/adjust (33+k miles) and overall cleaning. New frt. & rr. "sprockets" in place and torqued. Rear cylinder valve clearance check...good as is and back together. Tomorrow for the front cylinder check. Mike | ||

Hey did anybody sign up for the front sprocket as seen on EBR 1190 Owners Group Facebook post: Bump. We need 50 ordered to start **Official SuperSprox front sprocket order post** This post is only for the people that are ready t... Not sure where to respond to it but I'm on board for two sets going to a 530 set up! | ||
| Hughlysses |
You should respond in the thread on Facebook if you're on there. Here's what his post says in its entirety: Dallas Beranek
Here's what it will look like:  I'll send him a PM because I know some of you have an aversion to Facebook. Maybe he'll check this thread as well. | ||
| Hughlysses |
Update- I got in touch with Dallas (the guy putting together this order). If you aren't on Facebook but you want to get on the order for these sprockets, please PM me including the information above (how many drive assemblies, how many sprockets, number of teeth on sprocket, and what size chain). I'll forward the info to him so you can be included on the order. (Message edited by Hughlysses on February 15, 2018) | ||

I'm late in posting this, but looks like this project is dead in the water for the time being. Dallas couldn't quite get enough people to commit to order and then some of those that had already committed backed out when LAP put a bunch of front sprockets on eBay for cheap. He says there's a chance this may happen in the future as the guy working on the sleeved cylinders is interested in taking it on. | ||

Are front sprockets available anywhere? Just turned mine into round stock | ||
| Hughlysses |
Apparently the OEM ones are still available from EBR. |
