[400exrules]

what front sprocket should i get to go with my primary drive rear sprocket? i want it to be a 14tooth, should i get the primary drive steel for $6, or the renthal aluminum for $15? This is off rockymountain

id go with steel. it wont wear out as fast unless your concered about weight.

[400exrules]

for a front sprocket, steel and aluminum wont be that much of a weight difference

If it were me buying the sprocket. i would buy the renthal because the quality. it may wear out quicker but the performence should be better.

i would go alum than for the extra money.

on a atv,i would go with the steel for the simple fact that mud and sand really do hammer your sprockets.;)

I guess I should have been a bit more specific:ermm:

Is the weight savings of an aluminum sprocket noticable and worth the extra cost vs. the durability of steel sprockets?

i would just go steel. its not that much more weight than alum.
get the steel one!

[400exrules]

well i ordered the aluminum one already:ermm:

i hope it doesnt wear out too fast

some people say it cuts down on the rotational mass and frees up hp but its a bunch a bull, youd be better off spending the extra 9 bucks on other sutff
