I was out cleaning my 4 wheeler a few days ago and I was thinking. Sometimes when my chain gets all dirty and gunked up with chain lube and i clean it really good and go for a drive it has some more power. Which makes sense because there is less to turn, so if I was to take off my rear sprocket guard would I gain any more power?

 

that sprocket guard weighs at least 5lbs,the less weight spinning the more power to the ground you will have,but i dont think it would be worth taking the chance of ruining the sprocket.

 

I had a buddy machine me a 5/16 thick aluminum one to replace that heavy stock unit. Still protects the sprocket, but much lighter. I wouldnt want to take the risk of busting a chain or bending a sprocket. One rock and you might be walking.

 

where i ride there is hardly any rocks, would it be worth taking off for the extra poweror will I not see much of a gain?

 

wont be walkin if you have a 4x4 scrambler!! youll still have front wheel drive!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

i'd do that too, but it doesnt change the fact that i have a 329cc engine. the thing is a dog, when ig et done with this trip, i'm getting a scrammy.
