I ride responsibly (no stunting), but I do ride quite spirited from time to time with a few track days thrown in. I have well over 10,000 miles on her and the sprocket still looks as new as the day I bought the bike.

I had a Vortex aluminum sprocket on my F2 for approx. 2500 miles and it looked like shark's teeth. It was my first street bike so I was riding pretty reserved. Since working in a dealer, I've replace about 3-4 Vortex aluminum sprockets and the owners get pissed because they had less than 5000 miles on them.

Are you talking about stock steel or aftermarket aluminum?

I guess I'll find out soon enough. I ride kind of agressive, getting in to stunting a little bit ( mostly whoolies). I've had my bike less that two years and I already have 17,000+ on her. I'm on my third set of tires counting the ones that come stock and I've just changed my chain and sprockets. I went with the Vortex sprockets and from what I've read they wear 30% faster than the steel ones. Maybe I'll take a pic of them now, put some miles on them and see how they wear.

its lighter a good 520 conversion kit will take off over 1lb of rotating mass which means more hp can go to the ground instead of being used to spin up the sprockets
quality AL sprockets have been hardened to the point where they will wear the same as steel.
for example the AFAM sprockets are just as durable as oem
