14 t sprocket.

[Steve-o 400EX]

For you guys that have a 14t sprocket, how do you like it and how much top speed did it take away?

[Maryland 400EX]

I used it and it helped acceleration a good bit but lost what seemed like near 5 MPH... Now that I'm doing mods I put the 15 back on and man, it seems like this thing's a ton faster.

love it!,,,it didn't take away enough to even notice on top end,,,

Yeah not enough that you are going to notice. How often are you at top speed anyway you know.

its great if u really need the low end and are never at top speed which i dont think many people hit unless u ride dunes or fields. definately good for MX

If you are using 20 Inch rear tires then it is a good idea. If you are using 18 Inch rear tires then stay with a 15 tooth front.

I had a 14 on when I got my motor done and put on my 18s and I couldn't handle the power. I was pulling Wheelies in 4th gear and I rode around out local Mx Track in 4th and 5th Gear. I had to gear up.

[Wheelie]

Anybody running 14/36 gearing??

[Bean]

i belive that is a itty bit lower than stock gearing, i hav a chart layin around, cant find it though

The 14T is cool for trail riding, etc. because you'll be using 2nd gear a lot more for the slow stuff, but when the road goes straight like where I ride the 14T will show you a noticeable loss in MPH. The acceleration is much better with the 14T over the 15 which is what counts for the way most folks ride but I'm a top end freak. Me and my crew get out the highway and get pretty crazy.

i dont think the 14t is worth it unless you need the bottom gearing.. wat do u suggest if ur are ridin mx 14/36 15/36 16/36 w/ 18 holeshots????? help whould be great thanx

Maybe I will stay with the stock 15 b/c up the mts I do a lot of road riding and when 4 of us have 400s, u know we are tryin to edge eachother out.

Thanks

How about a 16 tooth, does anyone have one of them?

This is my 100th POST!!!! Yippeeeee!:D

[WhY_ZeE]

I don't know if 14t give much more acceleration than a 15t...Me and my friend both have a 400ex and he friend have a 14t,k&n filter and i'm in front of him with my stock 400,15t...Maybe it's the driver..

[0240099r1]

i may be wrong but i checked on a 16 tooth and was told that they do not make them.....if anybody knows of a company that makes a 16 plez. post the info thx.

[PDH416ex]

I have a 16 tooth front sprocket and I love it. it actually made me faster in drag racing b/c I didnt spin as much. Plus my top-end is 81mph soo I wouldnt change for anything.

I have 416ex witth Je 11:1 piston and hotcam and dg pipe
:eek:

[ill_lil_romey]

I have a 16 tooth front and love it, especially for mx. With 18 inch tires and the mods that I have the gearing feels great, not losing any on bottom and gaining mid-top. What can be better for 14 bucks? I never noticed it effecting my holeshots any either.

[Str8Wicked]

My 14T is great for riding but I've raced 250R's with pipe and mods and smoked them until I hit 4th gear and than you notice the loss. Well not so much a loss but you just ain't gonna get any faster.... It's great for every other type of riding i do usually... Usually when I do race people it's more for shyts and giggles...

[QuadTrix6]

i got a 14tooth and think it was the best 20 bux i spent. i ride tight MX tracks and need the low end, i smoke a lot of guys off the line too, its an extremely noticable difference. but im getting 18" rears and 19" front in the mail n e day know so i will probably switch back to my 15t, i was gonna sell it but its not worth it and this way when i use my stock tire ill put the 14t back on :D i highly recommend it and check the review section for the renthal sprocket

[Steven]

I have the 14 and 16 tooth.

The 14 is does improve pull in all gears and I peaked it out at 63 mph as measured with my GPS. Makes it a wheelie monster.

The 16 really makes each gear longer, reducing shifting and wheel spin. Make sure your engine has enough power to work well with this gear. I hit 73 mph as measured with my GPS but I ran out of room so there was more speed in the gearing.

[Steve-o 400EX]

I think I might try both a 14 and 16, i do a lot of trail riding up the mountains, but we are also on the roads a lot, wide open i might add, and it'd be cool to edge out my friends, plus i go to 2 different sand pits and i'd really like a little more second gear. I did hear that you have to remove the chain guard for the 16 though.

[Slick]

It is a lot better having the 14t on my 400 to do wheelies and everything else. For road riding, i miss my 15t but not that much

[fwm416ex]

If your a trail rider you will like it.-I do-.as far as top speed i was able to muster 70.3 mph with 22 razrII on back at 2002 hatfield mcccoy dirtweek festival i had the valve train ringing like a church bell flat out on a long flat section of road.It is legal to travel the road from trail to trail and into towns. a awesome time for our group it was
