Hello,
Does anyone have a reliable source for jack shaft sprockets that fit the Agni motors? The shaft on the Agni is 19mm, and the chain size is 420. I found and ordered three different sprockets made by TRITAN off of Ebay. They have the correct shaft size of 19mm, but neither the 1/2", 3/8" or 5/8" pitch will not match up to the 420 chain used by zero motorcycles. I was able to locate the sprocket for the 420 chain, but the shaft size is 3/4 instead of 19mm. It's Close, but requires to be shimmed, and I just don't think thats the proper way to do it. I need a 19mm jack shaft sprocket, with a 6mm key way. 12-14 tooth and must fit a 420 chain. Thank you in advance

A local welder might adapt it for you so you don't need shims?

Very True, I also am looking a sleeve adapter that might work. Thanks

420 chain specs: .500" pitch / .3125" roller diameter / .250" roller width / .227" sprocket width. #41 sprocket teeth will engage 420 chain links, but they're made for .306" dia. rollers and a #41 sprocket / 420 chain combo will wear quickly. Some sprocket places sell '41/420' sprockets, but there's no such thing.
Also, 19mm is .7486"; if anything, a true 19mm-shaft sprocket might need grinding (not shimming) to fit a .750" shaft, though with normal production tolerances it really shouldn't need either one.
If you want to do it right (as opposed to using a #41 sprocket), you may have to do what I did; machine a wider sprocket (in your case, #40 / .284" width) to .227" wide.
I really hope Zero went with a motorcycle spline standard in 2017. Finding 420/520 MC-chain sprockets using electric-motor finished bores has been nearly impossible, for me at least.

The 2017 accessories lookup shows a new 520 DID X-ring chain option for S/DS bikes, if that helps.

Thanks Brian! The 2017 FX parts list I have shows a 65T 520 rear sprocket 30-05090, but no front chain sprocket - and the '17 FXS fiche shows no chain sprockets at all. :~] My dealer's parts girl has been really helpful getting obscure parts info out of Zero, so if I can get the p/n I think I'll bite the bullet and get a '17 chain kit splined front sprocket to measure, just to have the info. Do all the '17 motors have splined shafts?

I added the tiny core of this thread's info to the wiki:

All the models with the new belt should have splined shafts, I should think.
I inferred a bunch of info about the keyed shaft for the Z-force motor here, and left open a section for the spline when we figure out what it is:
