Sprocket Question

[dnoftz]

Ok So i read that a smaller then stock front sprocket will give me more torq and a larger then stock will give me more speed.

And a lager them stock rear will give me more torq.

So if I go with a 14t front sprocket and a 41t rear will I gain both speed and torq. Or will it just equal out and be like i have a stock set up.

Id like a little more torq but I also need more top end speed.

You'll basically be trading off with each other. Sprocket sizes do not add power, they simply adjust it. When you put a larger front sprocket on, you're gaining speed but giving up "torque" or bottom end gearing. You're not gaining speed while maintaining the same amount of bottom end. Gearing is always a tradeoff!

/\/\ /\ Yup.

Sadly you dont get a bite at both cherries with gearing.

The way to get a bite at both, is with motor mods!
