Ok here is the deal, I am on my 3rd sprocket this summer! (and second chain), I ride all the time, lots of wheelies & Fast accelerating with the front end hovering, I know Im putting lots of stress on the sprocket, but their must be one out their able to take a better beating.
1st sprocket was OEM, broke teeth off that in no time. 2nd sprocket was Vortex, and I am putting another Vortex on, cause it seems to have lasted the longest...
My chain slack an all that stuff is to spec.
I've been using Vortex 43 tooth, is their anything stronger than you guys would recommend?, I am not really interested in changing my gear ratios, I want to keep my top end speed the same.

yep its in spec, I use like a full tank of gas everday, and I ride wheelies all day, so i do put much more miles on my bike than most.
In just the past 2 months I put somewhere over 3000 miles on my bike, not sure exactly, but I know over 3k
A friend told me they make a combo sprocket that is light aluminum core, with steel teeth, I guess I'll go with that next time, since the Vortex is all aluminum. Probably when I changed my chain the first time (its was streetched) that also contributed to the first sprocket going bye bye, and since my second one was an aluminum vortex, it probably would have lasted longer if I had a oem steel with a new chain.

I dont think you would even go through 2 sets of sprockets in one summer if you did wheelies all day, everyday. Just what i think but HEY, it might be possible.
