I need someone to agree with me

When I got my bike, the gearing was all jacked up at 13-45, setup for shootin hills with a stock motor. So I put a 15 tooth up front and left it for awhile. My first mistake was letting a friend work on her, I ran inside to take a piss and when I can out, he had cross threaded the output so bad it wasn't even fixable. Well, I wanted to ride the next day so I cleaned it up well, grabbed the suitcase TIG, and made that bitch permanent! Everything has been fine up until now, when I ordered a new rear sprocket with 40 teeth. I didn't know that there was a 4 and 6 bolt versions of the sprocket hub, so now I have a 4 bolt hub, and a brand new 6 bolt sprocket!

 

So my question is, should I keep the 4 bolt hub being as I can put smaller sprockets on it? What is the smallest on a stock 4 bolt banshee hub again? I read a bunch of posts and just got even more confused with the honda/yamaha 4 bolt differences. As I am stuck with a 15 tooth sprocket up front, and I've got a new 4mil coming together, I am more concerned with gearing issues and where I should go with them. Sorry for the long post, and thanks for the replies!

I agree. Thats a great idea.

i ran a 38 on a 4 bolt lonestar. i think any smaller the chain rides on the bolts.the only possible reason for running a rear that small is dragging competitively.for fun just go with the 6 bolt.

i say if you are going to make it a 4 mil fix it when the cases are split.but until then you will be fine with 15 front i did 90 + mph with 15-40-or 41 6 bolt

I say ditch the 4 bolt hub. If your ever in a jam and need a sprocket, they are less common to find than the 6 bolt hub sprocket.
