OK. I acted on some advice I've seen on the board to get a 13 tooth sprocket for the trx450R.

Got the sprocket in the mail today, I've got the chained loosend up and I am ready to take of the stock sprocket, but I am having a hard time. I don't want to break anything so maybe I am just not giving it enough muscle but, are there any tricks for taking this thing off? Does anyone know if it is a left handed thread or a right ? I'd assume left but, I'm not sure. Any tips, tricks or advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

I read the manual and it said see the dealer for sprocket replacement... thanks but no thanks [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

No one knows?

You guys must still be hung over from riding all weekend, I'll check back later.

So have you removed the one bolt holding the front sprocket on? That's all you have to do and no it's not a reverse thread bolt, just loosen it counter clockwise. The factory may have put some locktite on it but just give it some muscle and it will loosen up. Good luck!

 

Nope, that one bolt is what my question was about. I just didn't want to break anything. I'll go strong arm it. Thanks!!!

 

I got the 13 tooth rocket sprocket installed on Sunday!

HUGE difference! 1st gear is actually normal now :-)

Thanks for the help guys!

 

Sorry not enough of us where on the board for your thread! Now get the HRC kit on and really enjoy that 13T!!
