sprocket size

[compose2]

i just bought a new chain and sprocket set. my old set up that came with the bike was 13/41. i now have a 15/41 ratio. my question is will i notice a huge difference in performance. i felt that i was shifting way too often with 13. i do trail/mx riding

you will be higher geared and faster. probably wont have as much low end as before but if you got the motor you will be able to pull the gears better and not have to shift as much unless you downshift a bunch

i have a lot done to my motor including porting. i know i have enough power. just wanted to space out my shifting.

Two teeth on the front is a big jump, but if you don't like it you can try a 14.

you should have more power, your gears wont float.....they'll just keep pullin....if yer motors got the nuts try a 16 or 17

I like the 15 way better than 13 or 14. alot more fun to ride.

thats what im saying. mine pulls great but im always shifting. i wanna space out the gears a little more without hurting it in the trails. thats what made me think about going with a 15 front

If you went up 30 HP I would go up 2 teeth on the front 15 hp 1 tooth on the front if you had it set to where you liked it before. I hear each tooth on the rear is about 4-5HP difference (Determining what gear you can pull on the hill. (for example Old's hill) if you can jsut pull 4th with a 13 then you go up 30HP then you shoudl go up 2 teeth. Personaly I loved riding the dunes with the 13 on the front.

 

I put pipes K&N Jetted, and then went down a tooth instead of up. Seemed about right to me. If yu don't like to shift buy a thumper.

 

I would think a 15 would be fine for Trails and a 13 for the dunes.

 

I'm running a 14 for the duens now that I am ported but would consider running a 16 for desert-non dunes and open flats.

Compose2,

 

Tell us what you think once you've got a chance to try it. I think you'll like it alot.

I run a 15t with 20'' tires and you couldn't pay me to go back to the 14.... piped/filter/cool-head on pump gas. I've ran everything from trails to duens..... maybe the way I ride but I love it... guess if you rode like your 85 then it might pose some problems.
