Developed from the proven CAT5 sprocket platform, the V4 features a lighter, more aggressive design that reduces rotating mass for sharper acceleration, improved throttle response, enhanced handling, and greater overall agility. Its black finish adds a clean, performance-focused appearance suitable for street riding, track use, and other high-performance applications.\u003cbr\u003ePrecision-machined from high-strength 7075-T6 aluminum, this Vortex Racing rear sprocket is engineered for strength, consistency, and dependable service. Excellent concentricity promotes smooth, quiet operation while supporting efficient power transfer through the drivetrain. The 44-tooth profile is designed for compatibility with 530 chain systems and helps provide reliable engagement when properly matched with the motorcycle’s chain and front sprocket.\u003cbr\u003eThe Vortex Racing V4 rear sprocket is 10–15% lighter than the CAT5 design, helping reduce unsprung and rotating weight without sacrificing the durability expected from a performance component. Manufactured in the USA, it is a quality choice for riders seeking responsive drivetrain performance on select Kawasaki Ninja models, including the ZX-7, ZX-7R, and ZX-9R from the 1993–1997 model years. Verify year, model, chain size, tooth count, and gearing requirements before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e44-tooth 530 rear sprocket for compatible motorcycle chain systems\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eLighter V4 design reduces rotating mass compared with the CAT5 platform\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e7075-T6 aluminum construction provides high strength and performance durability\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eExcellent concentricity supports smooth, quiet operation and efficient power transfer\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e10–15% lighter than the CAT5 rear sprocket design\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eBlack finish delivers a clean, performance-oriented appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eManufactured in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFits select 1993–1997 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-7, ZX-7R, and ZX-9R models\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFitment:\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki Z900RS Base 2018\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZR900 Z900 Base 2017\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZR900 Z900 Base 2018\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZR900 Z900 Base 2019\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZR900 Z900 ABS Base 2017\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZR900 Z900 ABS Base 2018\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZR900 Z900 ABS Base 2019\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZR900 Z900 ABS Base 2020\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZR900 Z900 ABS Base 2021\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZR900 Z900 ABS Base 2022\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZR900 Z900 ABS Base 2023\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZR900 Z900 ABS Base 2024\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZR900 Z900 ABS Base 2025\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZR900 Z900 SE Base 2022\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZR900 Z900 SE Base 2023\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZR900 Z900 SE Base 2024\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZR900 Z900 SE Base 2025\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZR900 Z900RS Base 2018\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZR900 Z900RS Base 2019\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZR900 Z900RS Base 2020\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZR900 Z900RS Base 2021\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZR900 Z900RS Base 2022\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZR900 Z900RS Base 2023\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZR900 Z900RS Base 2024\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZR900 Z900RS Base 2025\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZR900 Z900RS CAFE Base 2018\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZR900 Z900RS CAFE Base 2019\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZR900 Z900RS CAFE Base 2020\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZR900 Z900RS CAFE Base 2021\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZR900 Z900RS CAFE Base 2022\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZR900 Z900RS CAFE Base 2023\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZR900 Z900RS CAFE Base 2024\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZR900 Z900RS CAFE Base 2025\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZR900 Z900RS SE Base 2022\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZR900 Z900RS SE ABS Base 2024\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZR900 Z900RS SE ABS Base 2025\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZX1200 Ninja ZX-12R Base 2002\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZX1200 Ninja ZX-12R Base 2003\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZX1200 Ninja ZX-12R Base 2004\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZX1200 Ninja ZX-12R Base 2005\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZX750 Ninja ZX-7 Base 1993\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZX750 Ninja ZX-7 Base 1994\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZX750 Ninja ZX-7 Base 1995\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZX750 Ninja ZX-7R Base 1993\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZX750 Ninja ZX-7R Base 1994\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZX750 Ninja ZX-7R Base 1995\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZX900 Ninja ZX-9R Base 1994\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZX900 Ninja ZX-9R Base 1995\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZX900 Ninja ZX-9R Base 1996\u003cbr\u003e\nKawasaki ZX900 Ninja ZX-9R Base 1997","brand":"Vortex Racing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67598559740220,"sku":"vtx452ZKV4-44","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1865\/9007\/files\/7d08cc7e82f75e98c8dd04025f3b4eceL_eaaf4b0a-61ec-4ae9-9aee-5c2d7d825996.jpg?v=1790651667","url":"https:\/\/necycleshop.com\/products\/vortex-racing-v4-44-tooth-530-rear-sprocket-black-7","provider":"NE Cycle Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
