Sitta Front Sprocket Honda CBR 1000 RR (2004-2016) N001 – 14-17 Teeth, 520 Pitch

Machined from chrome-molybdenum steel to motorsport tolerances, the Sitta N001 front sprocket delivers the kind of drivetrain integrity that track days and hard road use demand. Available in 14, 15, 16, and 17-tooth configurations for the Honda CBR 1000 RR (2004–2016), it lets you dial in your gearing with precision rather than compromise.

Key Features

• Chrome-molybdenum steel construction for outstanding resistance to wear and fatigue under sustained high-load conditions
• Precision-machined teeth profile ensures smooth chain engagement and minimises drivetrain noise
• Four tooth options (14–17T) allow genuine gearing customisation for track, sport road, or touring use
• 520 pitch compatibility — ready for a direct swap on standard-spec CBR 1000 RR drivetrains
• Exact-fit design eliminates play at the spline interface, preserving gearbox output shaft integrity
• Part number N001 for straightforward identification and reordering

Material and Build Quality

The N001 is produced from chrome-molybdenum alloy steel — the same class of material used in high-stress motorsport components. This alloy combines tensile strength with toughness, resisting the micro-deformation that causes softer steel sprockets to hook and accelerate chain wear. The tooth geometry is cut to close tolerances so that each link seats consistently, spreading load evenly and extending the service life of both sprocket and chain.

Choosing the Right Tooth Count

Front sprocket tooth count is one of the most effective and affordable ways to tailor the character of the CBR 1000 RR to the way you ride. A 14 or 15-tooth sprocket shortens the overall gearing, sharpening throttle response and acceleration out of slower corners — an advantage on tight, technical circuits or busy A-roads. Moving to a 16 or 17-tooth sprocket lengthens the gearing, lowering engine revs at motorway speeds, smoothing high-speed stability, and improving fuel economy on longer runs. Because the change is made at the front sprocket, the effect is pronounced even with a single-tooth step.

Fitment and Compatibility

The Sitta N001 is engineered specifically for the Honda CBR 1000 RR across its full 2004–2016 production run, covering every homologated variant of that generation. The 520 pitch matches the factory chain specification. Always verify your current chain pitch before fitting, and replace chain and rear sprocket at the same service interval for optimum drivetrain longevity.
