I posted not to long ago about a screwy chain being too tight in one spot and too loose in another and someone suggested the rear sprocket could be bent. So I'm gonna get a new rear sprocket and see what happens.....

How many teeth should I go down in the rear for a tad more top-end speed? I'm a slim 250-ish #s and so far the quad is bone-stock, and I don't wanna lose too much off the bottom. If I can't ditch the 250 and get a 03 400 I'll end-up with RCR's stage 1, prolly with the HPD top-end pipe (+8!!). Would losing 2 teeth be too tramatic for the lil' piggie? Or should I go up 1 in front and down 4 in back for a 1.5 tooth diff? (1 in front is like 2.5 in back, right? What was I talkin' about again?) Thanks for any help!!


P.S. If the last part makes no sense, I'm tired and ready for bed. If I got it right, well, I be educated[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

just sell the piece of crap and stop worrying about it. Buy a 400.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

what about going down 1 in the back, and leaving the front stock?

 

I dunno, I thought they went with even numbers on back......I said I was tired and ready for bed!! Good idea, just the same!!

 

mabye they are even numbers, i dont know

 

change the front sproket one tooth is like changing the back sproket 2 1/2

if you just change the back one a tooth or so you wont notice much..
