SCOTT PRESSLEY Posted December 3, 2003 Report Posted December 3, 2003 There are two sizes,I think the bottom roller is larger than the top one.I've went through 4 rollers on the top this year,finally went with a zero drag roller it stayed.It is the small one.Stock sprockets are 14/41 if you want more bottom end drop the size of the front sproket.I ran a 12 tooth sprocket on the front but fount out that if I geared it higher and used my gears I could do a lot better,but it depends on where you are riding and how.

Amstaff Posted December 3, 2003 Author Report Posted December 3, 2003 good lookin out im ridein dirt mud trails and hillclimbs no real wide open spot to whind it out in 6th so thats y im lookin for more pick up and acceleration! Quote
fixitrod Posted December 3, 2003 Report Posted December 3, 2003 If your trying to replace the roller that's on the swingarm you should get a slider. Upp has them and they also sell the split type at www.dirtly.com so that you don't need to remove the swing-arm. Quote
Yamaha350T Posted December 3, 2003 Report Posted December 3, 2003 I run a 14-14 gearing ratio. The rear 40 is a Blaster sprocket. It makes the bike have more low end, but when climbing big hills I need to start in 2nd, and it whines high quick, so I need to shift while climbing. Its a good ratio for trails. Quote
Amstaff Posted December 5, 2003 Author Report Posted December 5, 2003 its the bottom one attached to the frame twords the front sprocket and i have a slidder in the back on the swing arm thanx for the input though! Quote
Amstaff Posted December 6, 2003 Author Report Posted December 6, 2003 if i have a slider on the front do i need the roller on the bottem? twords the front? if so what size? anyone? Quote
Nutz Posted December 6, 2003 Report Posted December 6, 2003 Just get the entire kit from polypros.com. You get all the rollers and the chain slider w/o having to remove the swingarm. Did I say no swingarm removal!!!! One kit does it all nice and easy. Its worth the money. Quote
