When you guys do sproket mods are you just replacing the front sproket, or both sprokets? Or just the sproket in the back?

I know it will take some top end speed away.. But I dont care about that, besides I'm in the trails most of the time rearly hitting 4th anyways - But I heard you can wheelie like crazy, which is what I want!

 

You need to switch to a 13 tooth FS, will make a nice difference.

 

How many tooth is the stock one in the front?

I thought I remembered reading that people were only changing the front, but then I was talking to some friends who were saying I should go smaller in the front AND larger in the back... so I didnt know what to do! Becuase I'm going up to the shope in a few hours to order this, and some hand guards and maybe a pipe.

 

I've done a couple things to my bike (pipe, pro design air intake). I put a 13t sprocket on in the front for when I went duning a month ago (14 is stock). I was going to take it off, but decided to leave it for my next trail ride. I was amazed ,the torque is unbelievable. At times it was too much. Some of the steep hill climbs, hitting the throttle just a little brought the front end up. You learn to compensate though.


Anyways, it feels incredible. There's so much power. And yes, it makes doing wheelies a lot easier.

As far as changing the rear sprocket...do just the front for now. Going up in the rear has the same effect as down in the front. Going down in the front is supoosedly the same as going up three in the rear. Just so you don't obliterate your top end, change to the 13t for now and see how you like it. I'm sure you'll love it.

 

n00b... thanks. Thats exactly what I was thinking myself, about going down in the front for now and seeing what that was like then later on if I wanted more to go up in the back.

Anyways, I'm leaving now to go order some stuff, so I'll let you know how it goes after I get it put on! Thanks!
