rear sprocket ?

[little3mil]

got it running with the motor work done and went 14-40 but now i need a little shorter gears for heavy trails, which rear sprocket goes good with a 14 like 38 or 36? someone let me kno
i dont want it like 13-40 (stock) not that short but just a little more lift thru each gear

Dropping your rear sprocket would be the same as going up in the front, so if your looking for less gearing I would slap a 42 on the rear and see how you like it.

wow ur really being picky for trail riding, i think u should just slap that 13t front back on.

 

[little3mil]

oh yeah haha thanks bd27 rears backwards..

and im not being picky you fool im getting my bike dialed for my riding style.. you kno exactly how i want it to ride and perform

i think a front 13 with a rear 38 would be exactly what you are looking for

i was going to try 14-42 anyone use this w/ similar mods?

 

[98blaster+4]

with my mods i have 14 40 and i love it. but i also have a 41 rear and am goin to put that on for some 22" tires i have. btw i have 18" rears now

i doubt u would feel a difference with that compared to 13-40,

Yeah, I have 14-42 on my son's race quad. I originally put on the 42 looking for a bit more of a holeshot. Worked ok, but the gears were a bit close together and I found that although he was spanking it pretty hard, he would get left a little behind on the straights. Now I've added a bit more motor to take care of the grunt work and gone to a higher gear ratio by adding a 14 because it was cheaper than a rear.

gears ratio
13/40 3.08 stock
13/42 3.23
14/42 3.00
14/40 2.86

As you can see, the 14/42 is almost exactly the same as stock, just slightly higher to squeak out a bit more speed. BTW, if you are really looking for power (for climbing hills) instead of speed, I think you will like the 13/42. For any other ratios you might want to try, check out this handy dandy ratio chart at renthal.com.

Just figure every 3 teeth on rear equals 1 tooth on front. I'm in the process of changing gears to dial my quad in right now. I'm gonna have a gear setup for the dunes,hill climbing, flat tracking, rock climbing etc...

putting a 14-42 is the same or almost the same as a 13-40.
i run a 14-40 but for more take off just drop to a 13 front..

 

[little3mil]

wow ok royalt67 thanks for the answer man i gave you some rep..

yeah i think i may stay at 14-40 as i didnt really get to ride very long/hard to test the ratios to there limits. i love the higher speed and its prob better than switching gears so much. i just dont think ill ever use 6th ! haha oh well

thanks guys

haha, i said that and he called me a fool.

 

[mr_3_0_5]

i think if you want more gear in the woods go down a tooth cause we dont ever get out of third. but when we hit the road im gonna pull on the top hard..
and i need to correct myself i run a 14-39.
