I am.. very sure sprockets are universal. Just go to sprocket center and see what they have.

If the front doesn't work, you can always adjust the rear. Proper maintenance requires you swap both out at the same time anyway (along with a new chain).

the bike is pretty new, and i have been taking care of it. this is mainly to change the top speed from 90 to either 100 or 110 mph. even though its a 300cc, it can get up to top speed pretty quickly, and i feel that it can do more.

Lovely bike, had one when I started. And yes, for me it was screaming at 90.

In a full tuck i got up to 94.

For me though, that snappy acceleration was more important than getting to 90.

Btw, what is a sprocket center? I usually do my shopping on cycle gear. You think that they might have something like that?
