sandmouse Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 more speed you go bigger on the front sproket and smaller on the rear sproket. but when you change all this you lose bottem end. seems the parts guys at our local dealer said every 1 tooth on the front is like losing 3 on the back.

dajogejr Posted December 12, 2006 Report Posted December 12, 2006 With a stock motor and just pipes, I'd go one up on the front and leave it until you get some real motor work done. 1 up front is actually closer to 2.5 on back.... Another few things to add into the equation... What kind of surface, what kind of tires? size of tires? From a dead start, rolling start, etc? Length of race? The more top end you gear it for, generally the longer it will take to get there. And....you need to have the motor to pull it! Quote
moneybags Posted December 12, 2006 Report Posted December 12, 2006 Speed coast money, How fast you wanna go??? Quote
Washburn Posted December 12, 2006 Report Posted December 12, 2006 Yeah what DAJ SAID. Heh damn man you are the Banshee dictionary. But I would watch how big you go on the back sprocket espically if you have skid plates Fronts fine. 1 up if you want more top. with your mods thats all you really need. Quote

Actually, he'd be going down in size on the rear to get more top end. If he went bigger up front and out back, it's be counteracting each other.... Quote
olmick Posted December 12, 2006 Report Posted December 12, 2006 (edited) i put a 15t front sprocket on mine and loved it, before i would lose to my buddies ( 450s, 660's, 650s) when i had the stock gear on, i put on the 15t with a 4 degree timing plate and milled the head and i can pull them anywhere in a drag race, id say your looking around upper 70's with your mods, but a few other things on it and you will be in the low 80's easily, good luck and have fun Edited December 12, 2006 by olmick Quote
burleybanshee Posted December 12, 2006 Report Posted December 12, 2006 I ran a 15 tooth up front before porting and it pulled it just fine. I ride dunes mostly and the 15t made first gear a lot more useable. Could still drop the clutch in 2nd dragging and not bog. Front tooth is also a lot cheaper to buy to see if you like the gearing better. Quote
