Sprocket help!!!!

[Boxer_Rumble]

Hey guys I have another question. I want to make my gearing a touch higher and go down just a touch on the rear sprocket. Is there a guide anywhere to tell the top speed with sprocket size? I pretty much want to take it to the point where 1st gear is almost where second is now. I ride it around witht eh big bore and stuff and find myself never using first. Thanks!

14 tooth in the front, and 39 in the back, you dont even have to adjust the chain

What about 14/40 or 15/40?

well for the 15 you have to grind a bit, a 14 in the front will make a difference, but your running a 240 kit you probably want a little more top end so i would go with the 14/39 or 14/38

Cool thanks for the help!

there was a thread a lil while back about sprockets.. and aparently our motors dont care for the big front sprocket, go 14/40 14/38 or go up on rear tire size

i ran stock 13/30 with 22s all winter and hated it... 1st gear was useless, it was let clutch out and pull it right back in to shift to second... went to 14/40 with 18s and loved it

What is a good gearing for the track but can also be good for trails I went to duramtown in ga and went to the track and I can't get out of the burms fast enough to clear the next jump so what's a good gearing for track that can be good for trails too but I still want top end to

I just got my 12 tooth in the mail today, but I haven't had a chance to put it on yet. I'll be running 12/40 with 22's. most of the trails I ride are really tight and have a few hill climbs in them. I rarely have a chance to hit 5th or 6th so hopefully this works out better than my current 14/40. I'll let you know how it works, If I ever get a day off workX(
