Ok, I'm trying to take off the old rear sprocket and prepare for the next one that is coming in from the mail. I took the wheel off, took the four bolts that hold the sprocket in, and took that pin out where the wheel hub is(not sure if that was necessary) Right now I dont know what comes off next. Could someone give me a clue to what I should do next?

thanks

 

would help to know what you drive.

Unbolt old one, rebolt new one....

 

hehe, i found out, I just had to turn the sprocket a little so it would slip out from the hub. I drive a 400ex

 

I'M doing the same thing on my TRX 450R (u mean there are other quads ???[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] )

I got my new aluminum 40 tooth sprocket off ebay and seems like a piece of cake to do :

remove wheel,take out bolts , shake old sprocket and presto !! right ?

U know -i ordered a 12 tooth front sprocket for my 2005 ......... anyone else ever put a 12 tooth on ?

 

I bet that 12T is ganna give you some sick low end. I know that when I go down a few gears on my clutchbell for my R/C t-maxx, that this shows some serious wheelies.


I found a sweet deal on a sidewinder rear 38T for $25! I have heard/ read alot of good things about Krause's racing parts.

I had an aluminum 37 tooth on my 480R and when it wore out I had a bitch of a time getting it off. Seems as it wore out it also was compressed to a smaller diameter! I thought I was going to have to remove the axle to get it off. I was finally able to pry it of with a bit of sweat and muscle.
I'll stay with steel sprockets from here on out. The aluminum ones wear out to fast in the sand.

 

i'm tring to gear it down so my wife can ride it......... she's terrified of it as is .

I can see it now ...........the 12 tooth installed and she's pulling wheeelies just ideling [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I agree aluminum will not hold up - but at 1/3 the weight of steel and my wife rarely getting out of second gear -i figure it should last a couple of summers !?

 

In the dunes mine lasted about 4 trips! 12-16 days of riding. I'll stick with steel from here on out, I'm not too worried about the rotating mass on my R.
