Its accurate machining helps promote consistent chain engagement, while the durable aluminum construction reduces unsprung and rotating weight compared with heavier steel alternatives. The 44-tooth configuration can be used to fine-tune final-drive gearing based on the motorcycle, riding style, and desired performance characteristics.\u003cbr\u003eThis Vortex Racing V4 rear sprocket fits select Suzuki GSX-S1000, GSX-S1000 ABS, GSX-S1000F ABS, and GSX-S1000Z models from 2016 through 2019. Confirm the motorcycle’s year, model, chain size, and existing gearing before installation. For proper performance and service life, inspect the chain and front sprocket during installation and replace worn drivetrain components as needed.\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e44-tooth rear sprocket for 525-chain applications\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePrecision-machined 7075-T6 aluminum construction\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e10–15% lighter than the Vortex CAT5 design\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eExcellent concentricity for smooth, quiet operation\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eReduced rotating mass for improved acceleration and handling response\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eAggressive V4 profile for street, track, and performance use\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eBlack finish\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eManufactured in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFits select 2016–2019 Suzuki GSX-S1000, GSX-S1000 ABS, GSX-S1000F ABS, and GSX-S1000Z models\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFitment:\u003cbr\u003e\nSuzuki GSX-S1000 Base 2016\u003cbr\u003e\nSuzuki GSX-S1000 Base 2017\u003cbr\u003e\nSuzuki GSX-S1000 ABS Base 2016\u003cbr\u003e\nSuzuki GSX-S1000 ABS Base 2017\u003cbr\u003e\nSuzuki GSX-S1000 ABS Base 2018\u003cbr\u003e\nSuzuki GSX-S1000 ABS Base 2019\u003cbr\u003e\nSuzuki GSX-S1000 ABS Base 2020\u003cbr\u003e\nSuzuki GSX-S1000 ABS Base 2022\u003cbr\u003e\nSuzuki GSX-S1000 ABS Base 2023\u003cbr\u003e\nSuzuki GSX-S1000 ABS Base 2024\u003cbr\u003e\nSuzuki GSX-S1000 ABS Base 2025\u003cbr\u003e\nSuzuki GSX-S1000F ABS Base 2016\u003cbr\u003e\nSuzuki GSX-S1000F ABS Base 2017\u003cbr\u003e\nSuzuki GSX-S1000F ABS Base 2018\u003cbr\u003e\nSuzuki GSX-S1000F ABS Base 2020\u003cbr\u003e\nSuzuki GSX-S1000FZ Base 2019\u003cbr\u003e\nSuzuki GSX-S1000GT Base 2022\u003cbr\u003e\nSuzuki GSX-S1000GT Base 2023\u003cbr\u003e\nSuzuki GSX-S1000GT Base 2024\u003cbr\u003e\nSuzuki GSX-S1000GT+ Base 2022\u003cbr\u003e\nSuzuki GSX-S1000GT+ Base 2023\u003cbr\u003e\nSuzuki GSX-S1000GT+ Base 2024\u003cbr\u003e\nSuzuki GSX-S1000GT+ Base 2025\u003cbr\u003e\nSuzuki GSX-S1000GX+ Base 2024\u003cbr\u003e\nSuzuki GSX-S1000GX+ Base 2025\u003cbr\u003e\nSuzuki GSX-S1000S Katana Base 2020\u003cbr\u003e\nSuzuki GSX-S1000Z Base 2018\u003cbr\u003e\nSuzuki GSX-S1000Z Base 2019","brand":"Vortex Racing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67598545486140,"sku":"vtx435CZKV4-44","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1865\/9007\/files\/7d08cc7e82f75e98c8dd04025f3b4eceL_8c9bd092-125e-4be0-88db-3ea042b44e40.jpg?v=1790651356","url":"https:\/\/necycleshop.com\/products\/vortex-racing-v4-44-tooth-525-rear-sprocket-black-3","provider":"NE Cycle Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
