SPROCKET

[stroking]

I was reading that to big of a front sprocket can cause a power loss do to weight on the tranny.

 

is there dyno proof of this anywhere?

 

reason i ask is because i have a 19t and 20t front sprocket,but i also have a 33 rear.....i want to take the easy route and just change the front but now im not sure if i should!....dont want to lose any power....its a pavement only bike if that makes any difference.

A 19 tooth front is huge. A 16 front and 41 rear would make a very nice pavement gear ratio, assuming you have the basic bolt on mods.

thats NOT going to do it for me...i run 18"tires 1-5 override 18/36 gearing now and it tops out before the 1/8mile

 

thats why i need a bigger front or smaller back

I run a 19 tooth in the front and don't notice any power loss. Then again, I have a lot of power. I think you would benefit from going to a 20" tire and getting some of your gear back. Otherwise, go with the really small rear or the 19 up front. What motor are you running?
