yes hello to all i have a quick question about sprockets in general. You see i can get a great deal on a 49t sprocket however mine uses a 38t sprocket. So my question is what will this do to my machine will it raise power or will i lose power. It is going to go on my rear wheel drive.
THANKS

Lot of low end power,lost top end power,speed going to this large of a sprocket. 1 tooth larger sprocket on the front equals minus 3 teeth on the rear,a little more top end. Reverse if you go 1 tooth smaller on the front,equals 3 teeth larger on the rear,small loss on top end.You might look at clutch kits rather than changing sprockets.

 

no i agree opt the thing is i am getting this 49t and a 13t sprocket for $5 brand new sunstar brand cant beat that

 

The thing is that stock your machine shows to use a 36 tooth sprocket.If you have a 38 tooth rear,you're already two over. Front stock is a 13 tooth,but if you plan on using a 49 tooth rear sprocket(if it fits,made for this machine),probably can't use the chain guard,will need a longer new chain,plus probably will only be fit for hill climbing which is fine if that's what you want to use the Scrambler for... Reselling it is a different thing as the price is cheap..

 

yes sir i agree and right now i got an 11t on the front and my bad it is a 36t that i have

 

so if im understanding right the less teeth the more top end and more teeth more lower end correct OPT

 

Dropping to a smaller sprocket on front than stock is like having a larger sprocket on the rear,quicker but less top end.Larger sprocket than stock on the front is like dropping to a smaller sprocket on the rear. Will have a little more on top end.
By using your 36 tooth on the rear and 11 tooth on front it's like jumping up 4-6 teeth on the rear. Quicker on take off little less top end.The way you have it now.
Going back to the stock 13 on front will give you more top end speed. Just depends on what you're happy with. Manufacturers go over the ratios on sprockets to power and install ones for overall riding conditions. This doesn't always suit individuals according to their riding habits and terrain,there fore different combination are available.But you can go to extremes such as the 49 tooth sprocket that I don't think anyone would be happy with after they drove around with it a while unless they were constantly climbing mountain trails. My Honda came with a stock 15-38,I went to a 16 front sprocket to get it to drop around 400 rpms at 60-65 mph with a tad less engine buzz..

 

okay great explanation OPT

Think of it like a ten speed bikecycle, its the same physic's , the larger the rear sprocket or smaller the front sprocket the easier it is to go up hills but slower. If you want faster a larger front sprocket or smaller rear sprocket but harder to get up hills.

 

A lot of people go up or down 2 or 3 teeth on the rear but not 11. If you do it I want to hear about what kind of performance you get.
