View Full Version : 22" Tires 14 Or 15 Tooth Front Sprocket

I am running 22" tires and a 14 tooth front sprocket, I was just thinking about going back to the 15 tooth and I thought I would see if anybody had any thoughts on this. Do a lot of cruising and thought it would keep the speed up and the RPMs down a little. If anybody else is running this setup let me know how you like it.

I ran that setup for a little while. But once I went to the 14 tooth, I didn't want to go back. I do mostly woods riding though and I like the lower gearing. I have contemplated going to a 13 tooth even. Top end just doesn't mean that much to me. However, some people like the big gears and more top end. It's preference. It doesn't take that long to change. Put the 15 tooth back in and see what ya think.

I think 22" tires sap alot of horses from the stock motor. If you had the 416 or the 440 you could run the 15 tooth no problem. I would stick with the 14 tooth. Way better, quicker revs !!! more power!!
