I am interested in swapping out the stock sprokets in my 2006 Raptor 350 but, I'm not sure if I need sprokets with more or less teeth to make it faster, also if I swap out the sprokets will I need to change the gear ratio?

 

Whoa, whoa, whoa... back the truck up. Are you sure you're not confusing sprockets with something else? Changing the sprockets is changing the gear ratio. What do you define as "faster", more top speed or more acceleration? Going up teeth on the front gives you more top speed where as going down gives you more accel. Vice Versa for the rear.

 

i wouldnt mess with the gear ratio even though i was thining of droping a tooth in the front sprocket.

 

i wen't to a 12 t in the front, and it gained low end power and lost a little on the top end .that is what i needed for the trails i ride in. so you might want to figure out what you want, low end or top end.

 

To answer warrior guys question I fefine more speed as the machine being able to actualy go faster.

 

well if you want it to "go faster" from 0, go down a tooth in the front. if you want it "go faster" meaning you want it to do more mph gain a tooth in the front. reverse it for the rear sprocket

 

does changin the sprockets change the length of the gears

also is it better to drop a tooth in the front or add a tooth on the back?

 

Changing one tooth in the front is equal to changing 2.75 teeth in the rear.

 

i think it would be better to do the front.
