At DMG Motorsports, we present the Vortex Front C/S Sprocket Steel 16T-530 (Yamaha, part #3516-16) — a direct-fit, heavy-duty countershaft sprocket engineered to keep your Yamaha's drivetrain running strong under real riding and racing conditions. Vortex has spent decades building racing components for enthusiasts and racers who demand tight tolerances and durable materials, and this steel front sprocket carries that same reputation for quality into every tooth. Built for a 530 chain pitch with a 16-tooth count, this sprocket is a proven upgrade or replacement for compatible Yamaha models including the YZF-R1 and FZ1/FZS1000 platforms.

Precision manufactured from tough steel and induction hardened, this sprocket is designed to maintain concentricity for smoother, quieter, and longer-lasting power transfer to your rear wheel. A protective corrosion-resistant plating helps the sprocket stand up to weather, road grime, and everyday wear, while drilled lightening holes shave excess rotating mass without sacrificing strength — a combination that keeps acceleration crisp and the drivetrain feeling responsive. Whether you're maintaining your stock gearing or dialing in a chain and sprocket kit for street or track use, this Vortex sprocket delivers dependable performance backed by a trusted racing brand.
