JT front sprockets for Yamaha XJR 1200 & XJR 1300 – premium quality from Taiwan
JT Sprockets is one of the largest front and rear sprocket manufacturers worldwide and has produced OEM-quality drive components for decades. As a Taiwanese premium manufacturer, JT supplies numerous Japanese motorcycle brands directly as original equipment. JT front sprockets for the Yamaha XJR stand out for their high material quality, precise manufacture and long life.
Sprocket versions: with and without rubber dampers
JT offers all front sprockets both with and without rubber dampers. Through its internal blended pricing, JT offers both versions at the same price. The rubber dampers only reduce the chain’s running noise at the sprocket – they are not a quality feature and increase neither sprocket durability nor chain life.
