Anyone tried one on an '01? I have been running a 14 tooth front sprocket for a long time and like the results. Continually find myself in 4th and 5th gear on the trail as well and stay away from the 4X4 rock crawling.

I haven't tried 15 tooth put i tried the 14 and i lost a lot of low end i couldn't hole shot in second gear anymore put i had alot of top end i clock my bike at 79mph with 14 tooth. so want i am trying 2 say is with 15 tooth you will get a ton of top end but you will lose alot of low end. If you do it clock your bike and let me know how fast it goes.Good luck.

Big55Sexy660R how did you clock your Raptor. I'm also using a 14 on the front, I find that I have that little extra in 2nd for long hill climbs. Before 3rd was to much and 2nd not enough.

I was clocked at 79.3 with the 14 tooth front sprocket. This was with the stock muffler uncorked. I would be surprised if I pulled 1-2 mph more when I hit 5th....I imagine I could pull the same top speed with a 13 tooth front sprocket since the machine could "pull" the gearing better.
That should change now since I have the E-series 99% dialed in perfect. Gonna try a 15 tooth....probably would'nt any be faster on top than the 14 tooth now.....hoping for better acceleration.
