Good To Know

Q: Should the chain and sprockets always be replaced together? A: Yes, a new chain on worn sprockets wears out quickly, and new sprockets with an old chain do the same, so this set keeps wear even. A: Replacing all three parts at once also avoids the vibration and noise of mismatched components.

Q: How do I know the sprocket sizes match my bike? A: Tooth counts can vary by year and market, so compare your current sprockets against the listing details before ordering. A: Confirm the bolt pattern and chain pitch suit your CB450SC rear hub and front output shaft.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
