Sprocket Question

[HondaRider250]

not to ask a stupid question, but does more teeth on the front sprocket give u more top speed or more acceleration??? my friend has a raptor w/ a new sprocket and is telling me the opposite of what a wesbite says.

Yes a bigger sprocket in the front makes u go faster and if u put a smaller sprocket on the rear u go even faster but it ruins ur acceleration.

bigger sprocket meaning...more teeth?

[YFZ450Ridr]

more teeth on front sproket will give you more top speed and less acceleration. and just the opposite if you put on a smaller sproket on the rear.

with a smaller sprolet on the front you get more accerlation and torque but you lose some top end with a big sproket you dont have as much accleration but you have more top end

not to step on anyones ? but what would 1 tooth down in front and 4 teeth up in rear do?


i have full yoshi sys main jet 150 k$n filter lid off killer bottom but thought the mods would take care for the 1 tooth down. would 1 tooth up in front be the best?

I'm not 100% sure but i think it would waist ure $ on sprockets. I think doing that it would put u basically back to were u were, but dont take my word on it.

I just dropped 1 tooth in front and upped it 3 in the rear, gained everything back the 22" Holeshots took away, and then some. Love it!!
