I know this is an oldy, but CRAP!!! I just installed a 39 tooth in the rear and I can't believe the difference. I figured the change was a good idea because I am realatively fat arsed. I had no idea how much low end I would get. Lifted the front without even trying. I definitely waited way to long. Thanks for listening, I had to tell someone that gave a shizzy. Later guys.

 

Thats cool. I installed a 38t about 3 weeks ago but havnt had time to try it out. If that doesnt work for me I will change the front sprocket. I noticed in your pics you riding in the snow. Did you have studs on your pred? I rode mine in the snow for about 5 min. because I couldnt get it to go more than 15 ft. No traction at all with those stockers.

 

The 13/38 is a leave it in second gear harescramble setup. You do loose quite a bit on top end, but the wear and tear, and torque is worth it.

I just took it to the track today for the first time after the sprocket change. Major difference. The track was a dirtbike track back in the day and it had a 50 foot, about 50 degree hill with two jumps. I was able to rip up it no problem, it that was with my stock setup I don't think it would have been so easy.


Hey NCC, I didn't have studs, we had cabin fever and were just spinning and roosting each other, no traction at all. Just had to get out.

 

Ah yes, another happy Predator owner. Ride hard, and grin. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
