Built from heat-treated steel with tooth-radius profiling, the sprocket balances wear resistance and smoother chain engagement. The listing includes the sprocket and the mounting hardware necessary for installation; confirm your ATV's chain size and bolt spacing before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I confirm this sprocket fits my ATV?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure your current sprocket and chain before ordering.

Ideal for enthusiasts who need dependable replacement parts for trail riding, recreational use, or light utility work and who can verify chain pitch and bolt pattern before fitting. Not compatible with chains other than 420; youth and children’s ATVs often use 420 or 428—confirm size before purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Is this sprocket compatible with 420 chains only?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes.
