Vortex V3 WSS Chain & Sprocket Kit – Kawasaki Ninja 650 (2006–2026)

Vortex V3 WSS Chain & Sprocket Kit for Kawasaki Ninja 650

Upgrade your Kawasaki Ninja 650's drivetrain with the Vortex V3 WSS Chain and Sprocket Kit — a lighter, stronger, and more affordable alternative to OEM replacements. Engineered for performance riders who demand reliability without the dealership price tag, this kit retains your stock gearing and chain pitch for a seamless drop-in fit on most models.

What You Get

The front sprocket is crafted from high-carbon steel with a nickel-plated finish and weight-reduction holes to minimize rotating mass. The rear sprocket is laser-cut from carbon steel alloy with large cutouts and a cupped-down design — both working together to keep unsprung weight low and throttle response sharp.

The included SX3 chain features a tri-glide seal design that reduces heat and friction, delivering up to 10× longer wear life than a standard O-ring chain, with a tensile strength of 8,500 ft-lbs.
