Leave it stock unless you need to go more than 75 miles per hour, otherwise go down 1-2 teeth in the rear.

Leave it stock unless you ride lots of tight, twisty, knarly trails. Then go down to a 12t in the front.

do you have to take off the shifter linkage to get the sprocket cover off? I have my raptor totlly apart right now and am putting a lot of parts on it, anyway the guy who had this before me put on a 15T front sproket, must of liked top speed, anyway I'm putting the stock back on and it seems that the shifters linkage is in the way, do I have to take it off? Is there another way to get the sprocket cover off? thanks in advance,

Patrick

Patrick,
No you dont have to take anything off

I just replaced my cover will billet. It was kind of tight, but I got it off. You may need to hold the shifter down or up to assist.

Remove the screws that hold the left foot peg and move it out of the way, when finished just reminber to torque everything.

I dropped one in the front and raised two in the rear for a 12/42 combo. Mostly for sand trails and dunes though.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

What size is that nut? I can't get a sprocket or wrench that fits, its either to big or to small. What do I do after I take the sprocket off? Ive heard there was a cotterpin somewhere but I don't see any, any help appreciated,

Patrick
