Rear Chain Sprocket | Honda CB350 / CL350 / CB360 / CL360 / CJ360
The rear sprocket takes a beating from high mileage, loose chain adjustment, and missed lubrication — and once the teeth wear, it will chew through a fresh chain. This is a steel replacement rear drive sprocket for Honda CB350 / CL350 Scrambler, CB360 / CL360, and CJ360 motorcycles, made from top quality steel just like the originals and available in three tooth counts on the factory 530 chain pitch.
Why You Need This
When your rear sprocket's teeth are thin and pointy and show asymmetrical wear, the sprocket is worn and should be replaced. The rear is the driven sprocket — the chain pulls it — and it is made of softer steel than the front, so unlike a Honda front sprocket it cannot be flipped over for extra life. One direction only: once it is worn, replace it.
All three tooth counts fit every model in the chart below, which means you can keep the factory final-drive ratio or change it to fit your riding style. More teeth on the rear gives better low-end acceleration with reduced top speed; fewer teeth gives better top end with reduced acceleration. Either way, pay attention to the chain length — the link count has to match your front and rear combination.

Note: A new drive chain cut to the proper link count should be installed when changing the rear sprocket — and if you change tooth counts, the link count changes with it. As a rule of thumb, adding two teeth at the rear adds about two links of chain.
Model-Specific Notes
- CB360 / CL360: The final driven sprocket and its fixing studs are made as one piece and retained by a snap ring, so there is no separate bend-tab lock plate on these models — use blue thread locker on the nuts during reassembly.
- CB350 / CL350: The sprocket nuts are held by a lock plate with bend-up tabs — bend the tabs back over the nut flats once everything is torqued down.
- SL350 K1 / K2: Does NOT fit. Those models run a 520-pitch drivetrain, and this is a 530-pitch sprocket.
- SL350 K0: Runs the 530 chain but is not listed for this sprocket — contact us before ordering.
- CB450 / CL450 / CB500T: Different rear sprocket — see the CB450 / CL450 / CB500T Rear Chain Sprocket.
Installation
Difficulty: Intermediate
Replace the rear sprocket, front sprocket, and drive chain together — a new part running against worn ones wears out early. If you changed tooth counts, count the chain against the new combination instead of assuming the factory number; our chain length counting guide walks through it.
Once the wheel is back in, set the chain slack to 1–2 cm (0.4–0.8 in.) at the midpoint of the lower run — too loose causes chain knock, too tight robs power — and keep the chain lubed. Chain care is what preserves sprocket life.
Our Sprockets 101 video covers how sprockets wear, how front and rear tooth counts change the final-drive ratio, and how to figure the chain length you need after a swap — including the rear sprocket reassembly on a 360.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which tooth count is factory for my bike?
The CL350 came with a 38 tooth, the CB350 with a 36 tooth, and the CB360 / CL360 / CJ360 with a 34 tooth. Every tooth count we sell fits every model in the chart, so you can also re-gear: more teeth for stronger low-end pull, fewer for a taller top end.
My size is out of stock — can I run a different tooth count?
Yes. All three tooth counts fit all the chart models. Moving up or down changes your gearing slightly and changes the chain length, so count your links against the new combination before ordering the chain.
Do I need a new chain and front sprocket too?
Replace all three together. A worn chain on a new sprocket, or a new chain on worn sprockets, wears the fresh part out early. The matching front sprocket and 530 drive chain cover the same models.
Do you carry other tooth counts, like 33T, 40T, or 42T?
No — 34, 36, and 38 tooth are the three we make for this family. If your bike has an odd count on it now, pick the nearest of the three and size the chain to match.
What chain does this sprocket use?
The factory 530 pitch, non-O-ring roller chain with a clip-type master link. For reference, a stock CB360 runs a 16 tooth front and 34 tooth rear on a 94-link chain.
