just ordered 13 tooth for my raptor 700
 

it will be here on thursday of next week.

what kind of a difference should i expect.

my raptor is bone stock right now which i am ashamed to say.

am i going to need to get a power commander now or will everything still run fine as it sits?

why would u need a new power commander for a sprocket change?

i didnt know if i would or not that is why i am asking, i know nothing really about these quads. how big is the difference going to be? also is this a good gear for trail riding? how much top end am i going to lose? and lastly my friend has a 700 and right now we are neck and neck racing, what will be the out come now?.


sorry its so long, thankyou everyone for all your help.

im not sure what size u are using right now but in the front every tooth u drop u loose 5 mph, so u should leave him off the line but he will catch up.

Yea you will have alot more torque then what you had if you are dropping a tooth but what I would do next is prob get a pipe, filter,and a programmer...then I would get some tires for the raptor and you should see a large inscrease in the quad overall

I've heard it alleged that you might GAIN top end by going down a tooth. The theory is that wind resistance and the rider/machine wieght prevent you from hitting the rev limiter in 5th with the stock gearing. I'ts geared too tall from the factory. Dropping a tooth and reducing the gearing should overcome this, allowing a HIGHER top end.

Dropping a tooth on my 660 made it go faster than I want to go.

trapland,
i have stock gearing, I HATE HOW TALL IT IS... what front sprocket should i get one down right? what is the stock gearing? will i lose a ton of top speed?

I have a 05' Rappy that I geared down. First I went smaller in the front one tooth, but changed it to one bigger in the rear. It wasn't such drastic change with the bigger rear.

will my stock chain handle a one size bigger rear sprocket?
