Sprocket trouble

[BrL450R]

I just got new 20 11 9 holeshots to replace the stock 20 10 9 and was thinking of changing my front sprocket could i get better acceleration and also get more topspeed with a smaller rear sprocket? how many teeth on the stock?? what is a good setup for a woods rider that occasionally goes on the road:devil: or goes on wide open jeep trails?

You are contradicting yourself. You can either gear it for faster acceleration or higher top speed, not both. Stock gearing is 13 front, 38 rear. For more acceleration, you will either need to go down on the front or up on the rear. For more top speed, you will need to do the opposite. Either up on the front or down on the rear.

For the 06+ 450r's, I wouldn't suggest changing the front sprocket. A 13 tooth is fairly close to where you want to be. Changing it, you will either be geared too low or too high, in my opinion. If you were going to change something, I would change the rear.

Personally, I like stock gearing the best.

Yes. The 04/05 benefit greatly from a 13 tooth sprocket. They are geared way too tall from the factory.
