Matching rear sprockets for Japanese import Suzuki DRZ 400

drz rear sprocket.jpg

A number of people with Japanese import Suzuki DRZ 400's have had problems matching/ replacing the rear sprocket as the American and European DRZ 400's have a different hole configuration to the Japanese imported Suzuki DRZ 400's.

One of our friends went on a mission to solve this and has solved the problem.

For the Japanese imported Suzuki DRZ 400, the rear sprocket is the same as the Suzuki DR 650 1996-1997 (520 chain conversion) or Suzuki DR 350 1990-1995.

The Renthal Chianwheels part number for the 48 tooth rear sprocket that will fit the Japanese imported Suzuki DRZ 400 is below.

These are the dimensions of the Japanese imported Suzuki DRZ 400 rear sprocket

Also.. didnt the RGV250 which also uses the same fitment get sold in Thailand ?? Seem to recall seeing a few.

Anyway, easy enough to source now we know.

Nice, it's always a mess to find the right parts with bikes not being the same depending on location...
How much did you pay for it? I just ordered a 48t rear sprocket from the states for my klx and payed about 30 bucks for it though it's a nasty looking one (vortex sprocket):

Including import tax and shipping worked out to be about 1,600 baht each.
 
I am trying to locate a rear sprocket for my Japanese DRZ. The sprockets for a DR bolts to the hub but the size of the center hole is wrong so I would not drive with that. The Japanese model has a cush drive but the EU/US models seems to be bolted direct to the hub.
