Renthal Ultralite countershaft sprockets
« on: September 17, 2020, 03:29:06 PM »
Appears that Renthal is no longer making the Ultralite countershaft sprockets for the KX500.  Does anyone know of a source that may still have any old stock new 14T or 15T (preferred) Renthal Ultralite countershaft sprockets?   Thanks!

DONT you hate that when they stop making parts for bikes as good as the k5 , thats why we need to support these guys that a remanufacturing parts for these bikes and stock up now as this might not be the case in a few years.Try contacting Renthal and tell them there error, there others that would buy them sprockets.

Have you tried searching for other machines that use the same sprocket?  Maybe you can track one down this way.

Yes - the ultralite part number that fits the KX500 (252U-520-14GP or -15GP) also fits certain year models KX250, KDX200/220, KDX250, KLX250, KLX300, YZ250, YZ400/465/490, WR250, WR500, RD350, Banshee/Warrior 350. 

Needless to say, a search on part number "252U-520-15GP" doesn't turn up anything... Talking with Renthal, turns up that it is no longer in production, though they do show it on their website as "out of stock" (for the last 3+ years!).

Probably somewhere, there might be one sitting on some dealer's parts shelf, but cannot be found through a Google search - Really a great quality sprocket, a real shame it is apparently no longer available.

Thanks again for the contributions, present and future.

That sprocket covers a few models and should fit the rehashed klx300 20,21 model as well , you never no they might punch them out again if they see demand for them , i could do with 2 of them , i see if i can track down a rep and see he view.

Sorry I couldn’t help to track one down for you, but it looks like you are in the right direction with the research you have done. Good luck, maybe you will find one or something equivalent.
