front sprocket - 16T

it seems that i can only get a 13 and 14T front sprocket according to my parts books for husabergs? Z12 is the spline code, 520 the chain. it's 12mm wide and the other dimensions are 3mm spline - central sprocket teeth - 3mm of spline. code is JTF -823 -13/14.

so taking advice from the doc i have tried an early husky 2-stroke 15T and it fits spot on. it has the same code as husaberg so it's spot on. the JT sprockets code is still JTF 823 - 15.

according to the books it stops there. no 16T available. so what do SM riders do for this?

i note that the Husky do a 16T front for the 510SMR and 610SMR. it is 11mm wide, suits a 520 chain and is i presume from the diagram 6mm of sprocket on one edge and 5mm of spline outside it? it will also leave 1mm of slack. is that in reality what it looks like?

it means - if you put the sprocket teeth nearer the crankcases that the chain should start missing the frame? so not only a good fit but an improvement?

so what have you all got for your 16T fronts and has anyone tried the husky 4T for better frame clearance etc? may i suggest that if anyone does try this that they use a 1mm spacer near the spacer? this will keep the spacer on the 'O' ring and therefore the oil in the engine!

Taff - I think I posted about this before but my 17T Husky front is exactly as you describe - 11 thk thru the boss, all out one side. I had to fit a 1mm shim washer beside it else the spacer on the shaft that the seal runs on would pop out of shaft seal lip.

On the '98 I had to fit it with the c/l of the sprocket slightly further away from the engine than the original - ie boss toward the engine then the 1mm shim on the outside agin the circlip. You gotta carve the swingarm chain guide and the chain still licks the engine case once in a while.

On the '98 engine, I'd think the 16T would fit OK on centre or even closer to the engine but you'd still have to mod the chain slider.

My sprocket was originally bought for a 1992 TE350 so I assume Husky 4 stroke sprockets have been the same for many years.
 
If anyone wants 16T Berg sprockets I can help, $20Aud plus post will get you one.

Come to think of it I've got limited numbers of 38, 40,42 & 45 Genuine Alloy rears available for $35Aud and some X-ring chains for S/moto for $65Aud. If you need 'em just call

my 04 FE650E came stock with a 16/38 gearing il check the sprocket when i get home to Se if theirs any part no/code on it.
 
thanks one and all!

this is embarrassing! i looked up my trade book today and they only listed a 13 and 14 to cover all husabergs so i figured they had copied the OEM set up. then i talk to a dealer today and he said that he had boxes of them!!!!!

apparently they are supplied from new on SM bikes?

i'll go find that rock!

16t front sprocket

Hi there guys,
I run a 16t on my 04 berg,one of the Ktm bikes which may be the LC4 runs a 16t that fits also.

Hey everyone im now trying gear changes and just found out my FC has 13---48 gear yet stock says 14---48.Why or how could this so far off,Ive read that a 3:00 ratio works best for limited clutch use and speed for MX riding.Will KTM CS fit Husaberg or is it own part ........Thanks .......Paul
 
13 vs 14 is only about 7%. From what I can gather, gearing is about as personal as your jocks. All I can suggest is try other ratios in the direction you want to go until you find one you like. I always find the "stock" specs a bit too fast.

I'm fairly sure the KTM front sprockets are different to Husaberg, but the Husqvarna two stroke ones are the same, Husky four stroke ones can be made to fit with a 1mm shim washer.
 
O.K. now I'm a bit confused. I'm getting ready to buy a 16t sproket for my '05 FS650c and would like to know if there is an exact fit to be had with a KTM or Husquvarna replacement (those dealers have parts locally but Husaberg doesn't). The parts manual shows a number: 800.33.029.016 but it also says the part was updated in '03. All the discussion about interchangeability may be for pre '04 bergs. Does anyone know for sure if there is a 16t KTM sprocket which will fit an '05 berg? I can't imagine 2 stroke Huskys fit modern Husys, but maybe they do.

KTM sprockets are definitely different. No KTM sprocket will work on a Husaberg.

Hi there guys,
I run a 16t on my 04 berg,one of the Ktm bikes which may be the LC4 runs a 16t that fits also.

as discussed at the beginning the berg sprocket is 12mm wide and the teeth (6mm) are in the middle.

the husky 2T is identical full stop.

the husky 4Ts are for a 520 chain and 11mm wide. so a 1mm washer must be used. the teeth are set against the very back edge of the splines which would on a husaberg put the chain rigght onto the cases. if a husaberg has "3mm-teeth-3mm" the husky 4T has 5mm- teeth. suggest the washer be behind and then you have "husky 4T; 5mm-teeth-1mm" so that the teeth are actually pushed back 2mm towards the cases. thus the message that this could "save on frame paint?"

all husabergs have the same Z12 splines i believe. so an early sprocket will fit a later bike so i'm not sure why husaberg changed the part number in '04?

so my aftermarket sprockjet book stopped at 15T yet OEM go to 16T! and if you need that 17T then go with a husky and the 1mm washer.

i hope i have this right!

Yep. I think what you say is about right.

Didn't Husaberg change all the part numbers in '04 when they were absorbed by the Mother Company?
 
I'm trying to buy a 16t front sprocket for my 98 fe600 a husaberg dealer I called said he has a ktm sprocket that he thought is for a 525exc that it would fit but tight on the shaft. tap on then pull off with a puller. is this true or can someone direct me to the proper part number and a supplier in the US?
 
i've always used a talon 16t on mine,if thats any help.
talon ones must be fairly common replacements worldwide surely?

The free-to-download parts manual(s) say that the Husaberg part number for the 16 tooth front is 260 001-06. When KTM took over in 2004 and changed Husaberg to their part nunbering system the 16 tooth front became 800.33.029.016 .

I'd recommend messaging BOSS in the US through this site & he should post it to you for less than it would cost to drive to the shop.

You put this question in two places?
 
Thank's Bundybear!

xct250r We stock the 16t husaberg sprocket & ship daily :D
 
I just installed an Iron Man 47 tooth a new RK GB520MXZ chain (116) and the OEM 15 .With all the talk
about KTM interchangable parts I must have missed the note that KTM primary drive sprockets don't fit'
Thats what happened here. The KTM would not fit so I went to the Husaberg dealer and they had the OEM in
stock. So I got it all together and took it for a rdedown the street. I'm going to like this new gearing. I went from the
stock 15/45 to the 15/47 andf that's all I wanted. Just a subtle change
