XT600e Sprockets
Hi -giving feedback on my sprocket experience: I have run a 14 tooth on the front for 4 years and racked up about 20k km, with the standard 17inch rear wheel and a 45 sprocket it nicely drops the gearing and makes the 5th gear a much better option at 70mph. Better for pulling wheelies also  .
Most of the time my XT runs an 18inch rear with a 47 tooth sprocket and this makes the gearing much more suitable for serious off road use... even better wheelies!
The best sprockets I've use regards longeivity and price are the JT steel pattern ones - they have lasted me the same as the original Yam ones and wear quite consistently. I did buy a front Renthal one when I first had dropped the gearing years ago - it was hopeless and all the teeth ground down, with it ending up a very artistic crescent shape.
