OEM style 525 chain and sprocket kits?

My OEM chain is about toast at 22K miles. I would like to get a chain/sprocket kit in the stock size (525) that will last at least as long as the OEM, if not longer. I saw this kit online and it looks tempting, though I have heard people complain about JT sprockets.

525 Chain Kit - JT Sprockets Steel Sprocket Set with Your Choice of X'ring Chain - YAMAHA FZ-09 - Complete Sprocket & Chain Kits - FZ-09 2014-2016 - Yamaha - STREET

I like DID chains so that is a plus, but I'm not sure if JT sprockets will last as long as OEM.

Any insight would be helpful, especially from the higher mileage guys.

Jt sprockets are fine.

If you want stock sizes, get new set of OEM sprockets and the chain of your choice.

JT sprockets are fine, I've always gotten good mileage out of them. My Sunstar sprockets worked fine too but didnt last quite as long as JT. DID chains are good too, I've also gotten great service out of Regina chains and often at a discount compared to the more popular ( in the USA) DID chains.

Highly recommend Supersprox like Abe mentioned. Specifically, their Stealth line. Steel teeth on an aluminum inner carrier, so you get the strength and longevity of a steel sprocket with most of the weight savings of an aluminum sprocket.
