I've run into a dead end trying to source a new 36T rear sprocket (STEEL) for a Gen 1 Hayabusa. Any help is appreciated. PM if you have 1 or 2 for sale. Thanks, Mark

Thanks for the help. Sprocket Specialists are out of the steel sprockets (imported), PBI is aluminum. This may be my only option is to use aluminum.

I have a new 36T renthal but it's for a marchesini wheel.

Thanks for the offer. I have a Gen 1 rear wheel.

still need a 36 steal?

turbojonn · « **Reply #13 on:** May 27, 2013, 12:35:48 AM »

Hey over 200, is that 36 a 530? How much if so?

Stubbs · « **Reply #14 on:** May 29, 2013, 08:47:24 PM »

it's headed your way

Mattymatt · « **Reply #15 on:** August 28, 2014, 04:00:58 PM »

Anyone ever find a 36T steel sprocket? (Sorry to resurrect an old thread!)

Oz Booster · « **Reply #16 on:** August 30, 2014, 09:17:23 AM »

I had mine made,local engineer supplied an industrial steel plate sprocket and cut the centre and bolt holes

MarkScott · « **Reply #17 on:** August 30, 2014, 10:10:16 AM »

I recently ordered a alum 36T from Vortex with good results for my LSR bike. I'd still prefer steel but Sprocket Specialists didn't have them. That is where I bought originally. Good luck. Mark

Mattymatt · « **Reply #18 on:** September 01, 2014, 06:18:32 AM »

Thanks for the quick reply, guys. I appreciate it.

Mark- I'm wanting to do a 36T for street and interstate riding. In your experience, how well does the aluminum hold up? I really don't want to have to change out sprockets at oil changes.

The "softer" nature of the alloy sprocket might give extended
chain life. At $350 for a very good chain, the cost of replacing the
rear sprocket occasionally might be a savings.

MarkScott · « **Reply #20 on:** September 01, 2014, 11:52:11 AM »

I used a 530ZZZ Chain and the alum sprocket looks fine. Proper chain tension and maintenance will keep your parts lasting longer. If you go to Brock's Performance website, he has a Hayabusa gearing calculator that works well. Or just google it.

How many miles should I expect an aluminum sprocket to last (assuming no racing...), specifically on a Hayabusa? I'm not concerned about looks so much... I'm more concerned about needing to replace a soft sprocket a year after I put it on.

wildphil69 · « **Reply #22 on:** September 06, 2014, 10:11:40 PM »

Aluminum will last as long as steel with a good chain and proper maintenance.

SEJ · « **Reply #23 on:** September 07, 2014, 01:11:41 PM »

I have a brand new, never used in the package Vortex 36t 1st gen I'd be willing to give up if you can't come up with one.

Yes it's a 530 36t

05calibusa · « **Reply #26 on:** October 06, 2014, 02:53:42 PM »

Just curious what gearing combo you are looking for...36T/? What will you use on the front and what speed are you trying to obtain?

Mattymatt · « **Reply #27 on:** October 06, 2014, 08:21:49 PM »

^^ Not sure who you are asking. For me, I'm just looking for a lower rev at highway speeds. My intent isn't to find a top speed.

Mattymatt · « **Reply #28 on:** October 06, 2014, 08:22:34 PM »

And, 18/36. The 18 is easy to find. But no luck so far with the 36 (steel). I may have to settle with aluminum.

Yikes...seems like an awfully tall gear set. According to the gearing chart, you'll be able to do 90 in first gear at 10,800 rpm. I know you're talking about lower revs, but you might not ever get that thing in 6th gear with that gear set.

What do you have on there now? You might want to try a 18/39 or 18/38.

Mattymatt · « **Reply #30 on:** October 07, 2014, 02:33:12 PM »

Interesting observation. You might be right on that. Right now I'm at stock (17/40).

I want the revs to be lower, but I still want my 6th gear! Maybe I'll end up trying out the 38 first- thanks for the advice. Hopefully I will be able to get back on the bike this evening and can play with the rpm's a little to see exactly where I'd like to be. According to GearCommander, I would be where I want to be with stock gearing. But it doesn't appear to be accurate. Where did you check your gearing #'s?

05calibusa · « **Reply #31 on:** October 07, 2014, 02:58:28 PM »

Do a search for "Busa Gearing Chart", there is a spreadsheet out there that is already populated with the Busa gear ratios and you can just plug in your gear combo.

When I was running mine on the street, I went with 18T/40T and it made all the difference in the world. I think it would be about the same if you go 17/38. Trust me, 18/36 is going to be way too tall for your purpose.
