Need to know how many teeth on each. more low end please? honestly, sprockets are one of those things that differ in opinion. some like low gearing and some like high gearing. You have to find out what you and your shee like. I buy only the cheapest steel sprockets, usually JT from Magic Racing, or Primary Drive from RMATV. $15 per rear and $7 per front. Get several front and several rear and play around till you find whats right for you. I run a 15 front all the time, and fine tune the rear. Currently its the stock 41. I have 39, 40 and 42 rear sprockets. When I go to the dunes, I'll gear it down a touch. The best way to know is trial and error.

vmaxup Posted March 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 ok so im the only one that is going to change there gearing for more bottom end. So Im going to buy like 3 sets and try them all? No one else have suggestions on what set up to use to get more BOTTOM end. What do you guys use. Unless stock is the way too go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 if you are stock geared right now try gearing down one tooth up front. see if thats enough for you. if not try another tooth up front. thats prolly gonna be too low for you tho. when i had the banshee engine in mine i has 12/41 gearing. it was pretty low but i liked it. i had more range of lower gears for about every type of hill. if i were you i think id just go down one in front. use the front for big adjustments and the rear for fine tuning. to go lower, u go down in front and up in the rear. higher is just the opposite. does this answer your question?

vmaxup Posted March 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 so go down in the front one tooth. Will I notice that? If I do great. If imbuying them should I go up one in the rear? Glammis olds hill and race. or is that going to be to exstreme? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 so go down in the front one tooth. Will I notice that?If I do great. If imbuying them should I go up one in the rear? Glammis olds hill and race. or is that going to be to exstreme? Change the front tooth first and see how you like that. If you want more, then up the rear one, then two, and so on.

MotulMonsta Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Watch out with the 12 tooth front sprockets, I won't run them because I keep breaking them. If you have an after market chain slider, you might end up munching sprockets like I have. Seems the angle is wrong and the chain will pop, causing the teeth to crack. A 13 tooth is about the smallest I'd run. I run 13/42 on 20 in rear tires. Tire size plays an importand role as well. If you run 18's your gearing will be way differnt than say 22 in tires.

MotulMonsta Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Steel sprockets. I don't run aluminum. Use sunstar or sprocket specialists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
