Im getting a 15 tooth in the front because im getting 23 tires iin front and 22 in back so im goign to get a 15 tooth in the front. if i do this do i need a new chain? and also what is the stock sprockets at for front and back because i have no clue. i need to get a manual.

Stock is 16 front/40 rear. You don't need a new chain for just a 15 t front sprocket.

 

I believe you can go up to a 42 in the rear without getting a chain as well. 43 you will need a chain.

 

So you're saying that you can go to 15/42 without a new chain...is that correct?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

43 rear 15 front will work w/stock chain, seemed to low of gear from my 22" dirt tires,worked good with 23" paddles, drag race w/14/43 23" haulers for best results[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

It's my understanding that with the taller rear wheels to which you're referring, it has the same effect as gearing up, i.e., smaller rear sprocket/larger countersprocket. Is this correct?

I'm trying to gear down because I ride exclusively in the sand. I have 20 inch paddles in the rear and I want to get more brute hillclimbing power out of my Baja. My plan is to go with the 15/42 set-up. Does that sound right to you? I'm not at all concerned with the loss of top-end. Thanks again for your help!

 

You can do what I did. Save money and work with just a 14t front[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
Works GREAT IN SAND.

 

why spend the $$ on a new rear sprocket? put on a 14t front will give you and excellant gear for sand. sidewinder makes a good front sprocket (and rear) 630-513-1000

 

i have been told that 1 tooth in the front is about the same as 3 in the rear, so doing a 15/42 is about the same as the 14/40, i agree with jeffroe about the sidewinders sprockets thats here i got mine

 

isn't the 14 hard on the shaft sill?
