Kush Sprockets

Thanks a bunch for the report! I can't wait to try mine out! Our streets are going to be clear in about 5 days and I'll see if I can get mine installed be then. The ribs had joined together so I'm just waiting on the chest muscles to tone down a bit and I should be able to throw the bike around and get the test in.

I couldn't believe your positive report, if Kushsprockets drops the manufacturing of this product, I'll have to create my version of it, too good of an idea to pass up!

Thanks again!

rafobigguy and others,

Well, I finally was able to install the new kush sprocket on my 2009 TE450 and this afternoon, shortly after the rained stopped, I gave it a test drive.

The results were so surprising that I ended up staying out there for a few extra miles just to make sure I was really feeling the difference, I guess I was questioning whether there ever was a problem in the first place! At speeds up to 75 mph, I felt only a slight chatter in the gears when cruising, ever so slight at that. As a matter of fact, at all speeds, I barely felt any form of chatter and that included hard acceleration, throttle pumping and wheelies.

Rather than head home, I returned to a private stretch of road and hammered it countless times just to beat it up a bit. I also ran a long stretch of straight road to see if there was any feedback from the drive and all I got was the hum of the chain. My average speed on the straight runs was around 50 to 60 mph and there was virtually nothing to make the ride uncomfortable.

The fear if it failing suddenly hit me and I couldn't wait to get back to the garage to see if one of those cushions had fallen out! Everything was as good as new and now my only concern is how long this great improvement will last. I love this sprocket, installs easily, the gear ratio is nice (I purchased a slightly smaller diameter sprocket for more top end, 3 teeth less) and all I can say is that I wish Spring were here so I could put 100 miles on the bike tomorrow!

I now have my Kush Sprocket and new chain. I'm waiting for my counter sprocket and some other stuff I ordered from Kelly. Once I get it all installed I report back.

Just got mine today. 47 tooth. Need to install to see much longer chain needs to be.

Installed my Kush with new chain and counter, it fit nice no problems. Rode it 210 miles of mixed pavement tight single track and two track, it worked great. It reduced shock. My feeling is it will help to increase trans life and it is way less expensive than a buffer hub.

Thanks for the update, hopefully we can get a few comments on this sprocket, enough to make a decent sample of its performance. I had my bike out today but the roads are too snowy to ride very far and report back to this thread on my kush sprocket, first break in the weather and I'll give it a good run!

Ok, I've now got 1200 miles on my Kush Sprocket. It's been working great so far. I don't know it's there off-road and feel better about running down the pavement. Chain and sprockets look good. My friend has installed one on his KTM 530 after seeing mine. So far it's been good.

It looks like the largest they make is a 47T. Too bad they don't make a 49 or 50.

I've had my Kush for a half dozen short rides and it still looks like it did new. So far seems to smoothen out the ride pretty decent.

Couple things I noticed, heavy. 2- my original bolts are too short to pierce through the Teflon in the nuts. Better get some loctite.

Update on my Kush Sprocket - it is still in great shape, about 300 miles on it with mixed riding, it does appear to make a difference too. I can cruise at 40 to 50 miles per hour and I don't get nearly as much back lash in the chain at constant speed. I would appreciate hearing from others?

Kush now offers 41, 45 & 50 Tooth Husky sprockets.

It would be interesting to hear some reports now with more miles on them. Still holding up?

I have around 1500 miles on mine, looks good so far.

I tried to get my parents to order one for x mas. No reply via email. Does anyone know if they are still in business? I need a 50 sprocket

Does anyone have some information about this company?
