That wont work, you mean the flat side in? itll crash right into the wall in there..

that 9.5 "space" works as a spacer dont it? and the space will then be too short, the sprocket wont be in line with the chain.

If your front sprocket is 15.6mm wide you need the sprocket #577(15.6 mm wide) which is listed for the 97-98 model, not #1577(9.5 mm wide).
I also have a 2001 4pt model & had the same problem recently after ordering new sprockets.

Bergspre, my bike is a 2005 TT600RE. I thought all the later model 600’s had the same front sprocket, but Bobmech has corrected that misunderstanding.

Sure, I will check what Wemoto sent me, but I can’t be sure if our bikes use the same front sprocket. My bike is supposed to have the exact same engine as the 1990 – 1995 XT600E. I will post the sprocket partnumber tomorrow.

I would expect Wemoto to be helpful if they made a mistake. They (Wemoto) messed up my order a little, I ordered two rear sprockets among other stuff, but received only one. I informed them of this and they sent me the missing sprocket right away. They obviously did not suspect me of lying to get a free part, and corrected the mistake without delay.

Here is a pic of my front sprocket. This sprocket sure looks more than 9.5mm wide to me. I am guessing our bikes use the same type of a front sprocket. It will be interesting to see the sprocket Wemoto sent me… I will check it tomorrow.

I think maybe that illustration pic must be wrong, why is the illustration showing 9.5mm, is that for 1577.9?

My sprocket was a 1577.15

Im going to take pictures tomorrowshowing both the old and the new sprocket.

Question
This is a picture of the old front sprocket showing
the measuring of the depth, it is 15mm.


Here is a picture of the new front sprocket, a JTF1577.15
It is only 9mm deep though! Strange..


And another one of the new sprocket..

Hi Bergspre
I have a front sprocket that I got from Dave Lambeth for my TTR600, The part no is JTF577.15
I have a XT600 3AJ engine that also has a JTF577.15 front sprocket.
Your part no is slightly differnt
I also rember some one put a XT600e engine in a TTR and had a problem with front sprocket lineing up I think the out put shaft maybe a differnt length on some XTs to TTRs but only on certian years.
good luck

Bergspre, the sprocket Wemoto sent me is also a JTF1577.15, the same as you have. And it is the wrong one for my TT600RE, I need the wider one.

I browsed jt sprockets catalogue online on all the yamaha xt600 listings. Found theres alot of different bikes listed but theres actually a sprocket called JTF 577.15 and its 15.6mm wide, i think this is the one needed. I hope wemoto just picked the wrong sprocket, i can see that mixups can happen.. 577.15 and 1577.15

btw. the 577.15 is listed for xt600 E,D 1987

Bergspre, you need a #577 sprocket with the appropriate number of teeth(14, 15, or 16).
I would say the catalogue listing is incorrect, not unusual for pattern/aftermarket parts.

Sry bobmech I didnt notice your post yesterday, you had the solution already about the 577 not 1577

I think i was too stressed yesterday

I have found the 577 sprocket in a norwegian webshop so if I dont find a nearby store tomorrow where i can pick it up ill order it from the web. Vacation + motorbike trouble = true

my new sprocket was thinner as well
With my new front sprocket I ordered( which is thinner than the original) came a splined spacer to make up for the lack of width.
