I already have the superlite front 52614H and rear 50607R-42-520 sprockets. How much is the carrier you suggested for said setup?

SUPERLITE Quick Change Sprocket Carrier: M796-M1100, 848/848 SF, HM/HS 821, HM 796/1100/ MTS1000-1100, S2R1000, S4RS, S4R[996]

 

Hey hey,
My bike is:2013 M1100 EVO.
I am currently going from my stock 525 OEM regina chain and stock sprocket to a new complete 520 setup.
New set includes:
1) New 520 3DX Chain.
2) New front superlite 520 sprocket.
3) Superlite Poly Cush drives.
4) CNC Aluminum nuts across the board.
5) AEM Ergal Aluminum rear sprocket (also have superlite 520 steel sprocket to use if feedback points to it as the recommended way to go, but would need a new carrier too at that point?)
6) AEM Ergal Aluminum carrier.
7) AEM Ergal Aluminum Sprocket nuts (wheel side + sprocket side.)
8) AEM 5 hole Aluminum hub Flange.
9) AEM Aluminum Rear
My question is how many miles do you Salty Moto dogs think I will get out of this (Aluminum Sprocket?)
Compared to the the steel Superlite alternative?
If then, this aluminum sprocket is not recommend by the multitudes, yet I run it for a short amount of time, say 1000 miles, do I have to buy a completely new front sprocket and chain in order to then switch to the new superlite steel rear sprocket?
That would be expensive.
Lastly, what torque value do I assign the black CNC nuts above the red Poly Cush drives?? Do I use blue locker? Can't find this info anywhere on searches.
Thank you so much in advance, I really appreciate your feedback.

AFAM makes aluminum carriers and light quick change steel sprockets that are almost as light as aluminum but wear much longer:

SUPERLITE Quick Change Longevity Kit - M796-M1100, HM796/1100/EVO, 848/848 SF, HM/HS 821, MTS1000-1100, S2R1000, S4RS/S4R[998]

 

Awesome project. I'm inspired. At nearly 25k miles, the 748 could use a refresh in that department, and your setup looks great. Where did you procure everything?

 

Hey, Thanks sfyamr1,

I purchased all AEM parts from Bellissimoto website. They are an Italian Moto Performance parts importer W/ a storefront in Sin City, NV.
The poly Cush drives, CNC Racing bolts and EK 3DQX Chain from my boys at Motowheels.
They rock Imho.

That is an awesome recommendation you gave with links and all!
very much appreciated 9's.

thanks

 

Thanks for the input.

I really appreciate the feedback.
Sure is a huge swing in the amount of miles gained by going with a steel sprocket. The real reason I purchased the AEM Aluminum sprocket was the information suggested to me at the time of purchase. I was told the AEM Ergal aluminum metal used was this, "amazing new grade of Aluminum, hard as steel." It was supposedly holding up as well as steel, at least in regard to AEM Factory out of Italy.
Since then, I've realized either my Italiano ain't so good or I was sold a line of (sales 101) bent truths.

O, flynbulldag, did you mean "yes" or "No"
to my question below?

And in my opinion No, you can go ahead and use the same chain and front sprocket after 1000 miles and a change of rear sprockets

Thanks again, Casey S.

I meant "No, you dont have to buy a new front sprocket..."

 

driveline?

why use alloy sprocket nuts when titanium nylocks are close to the same$$$? Titanium Ti Grade 5 Hex Flange Nut With Nylon Insert (Lock) M6, M8, M10, 3/8-16 | eBay if the carrier bolts have normal hex heads switch up to titanium bolts also.http://www.ebay.com/itm/401195389859?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&var=670771920105&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT if your not a long distance tour'r go with alloy rear sprocket,steel for the long haul.

 

The steel sprocket will get you between 20,000 and 25,000 miles - the aluminum Sprocket will get you between 3000 and 5000...
Racing parts are good for racing - usually they are not good for daily use. 3000 miles might be a whole season on a race bike and things like chains & sprockets are expected to wear and change often. In my experience the amount of performance you gain from a drop in chain size is nearly negligible on a street bike but its certainly not so on the size of your wallet. It's not worth the money to go down a size on the chain and its an absolute waste to use an alloy sprocket on a street bike. I did it once and I'll never do it again.

And in my opinion No, you can go ahead and use the same chain and front sprocket after 1000 miles and a change of rear sprockets
