i just got a vortex rear sprocket and the numbers on it are confusing me! what are the numbers on yall's sprockets? mine says 528-49. the 49 i know is right, but the 528 is confusing me. i know i ordered a 530 sprocket from parts unlimited (1211-0404). thanks for the input.

528 refers to the part # or type of sprocket, and is not specific to your bike.
In other words, it's a #528 sprocket with 49 teeth... The 528 sprocket may fit other bikes as well.
Actually, looking at vortex's website, it is a 528 sprocket on all Kats, earlier model GSXR 600s, Bandit 600s, RF600s... and yes, it's a 530 chain pitch.

I just installed a 15/50 520 setup on mine using vortex sprockets and a RK X-ring chain, still less than 500 miles but they are looking good so far.

a steel sprocket is always going to get you more miles (harder metal)... but how many miles you get out of an aluminium one varies wildly depending on certain factors... the way you ride, how hard you are on the bike, the amount of upkeep you do on the chain and sprocket, how often you lube/clean it, etc etc...
but if you keep up with maintenance on the chain/sprocket, you should be able to pull around 15k on it... max
