sprocket

[lilblaster]

I am thinking about getting a new sprocket to go faster. what kind is a good brand but i don't have a lot on $$. should i get new front, rear sprockets and chain ? and also what is a good # of teeth to go faster

 

[blasterman312]

14 tooth sprocket in the front and 42 teeth in the rear, that's the highest u can go i think

 

[randelator]

if your engine is built go 14 /40 if not go 14/42

 

[lilblaster]

what would you consider built ? and what would the prices run do u think

 

[lilblaster]

would it be OK to get hardened steel or should i get alloy or wold it not matter

 

[randelator]

aluminium sprocket is my choice but steel will do the trick you can use cheap sprocket as long as you use a good chain,and by built i mean porting crank etc etc

 

[lilblaster]

ok so a 42 tooth in the back how mutch faster do u thinki can go sence i have stock on it now

 

[lilblaster]

what dose a stock blaste have

 

[randelator]

13/42 stock 14/42 will giive you anywere frome 3to5 mph

^^ agreed with randelator 1 thing tho, if you get ur engine built up in the future, there is a company that makes "More Speed Sprockets" they have a red chain, can't miss them, they are pretty hard to break, ive tried a few times (course not on purpose) anyway... yeah, they make them in 14/40 and 14/39 14/39 gives you more topend speed 14/40 gives you more bottom - mid power (quicker off the line) but do 14/42 for now since ur not built up very much

 

[Stryder917]

sh*t, i forgot to say ---- ^^^^^ u can get these sprockets w/ red chain off of ebay for... 99.99 kl looking as well..the link is...eBay Motors: Chain and Sprockets Kit Yamaha Blaster 88-06 Colored (item 280136868870 end time Jan-19-08 09:17:00 PST)

so here is this if you ever go to these type

 

[lilblaster]

should i buy frount and rear and chain?

 

[flyers42091]

If you just want to get the 14tooth. Then just go to your local dealer, they should have one there. And their only like 8$

 

[lilblaster]

OK for a chain should i use mine or bye a Yamaha 1 of would my local chain place have 1 that would work

 

[wildbill95]

go with the 14/40 it works for me and I really am not built up that much, it really all depends on what kind of riding your doing yhat will determine the gearing.

 

[lilblaster]

trails and drag raceing

 

[wildbill95]

Primary Drive chain and sprockets are good sold by Rocky Mountain haven't gone wrong with them yet and last long.

 

[lilblaster]

OK i mayjust try my chain as is and hopefully this week can go to the deelership and get a 14 tooth sprocket

 

[wildbill95]

I have done that before just to try change front sprocket with old chain won't hurt it for a while but event will wear it out if old chain

 

[lilblaster]

ya i am just gunna try it like that and see how it works i dont wanna spend a lot of $ right now
