I just picked up a 04' Predator last Friday and have a couple questions. What are the sizes of the stock sprockets? (too cold to go outside and count them) And what would be the best gearing for woods riding? Oh, and I heard that the Predator uses the same front sprockets as XR 650's is that true?

14,37.. and i dont blame you.. it is too cold some times...
id go 13T mines great in the trails...
and yes.. the same as an xr650...

 

Thanks man.

 

any time...

 

info you didn't ask for, but for the taking, I just put 15/38 on mine for the heck of it, and came up w/ about 78 or so (pacing w/ vehicle, not clocked), would be horrible for technical trail, but awesome first gear instead of second.

 

i had thought about doing that for ***** and giggles... but i didnt wanna waste 20 bucks..

 

hows that I tried a 15 tooth, from sprocket specialties on my pred and I couldnt even make it fit the clearence was way to tight

 

The 13/38 works great for tight woods/harescrambles, if you go that route. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I picked up the sprocket from my dealer, but I looked, and it Is a sprocket specialists sprocket. When the pred came out, i ordered my 13 from sprocket spec, and it didn't fit the clip yet, as it was supposed to be for the xr650, and the new ones are too, but the bolt spacing for the clip works now. Definitely no room left when its on there.

 

it is the same as a xr650 but try to get a stock xr sprocket I bought a moose one and it was a little to fat had to spend some time grinding it down
