anybody ran one on the 400ex? im getting one in the mail here soon and wanna know about it. tell me your experiences.

If a 14 is stock, then with the 13 you will have some more bottom end, but less top end

i have a 2001 so stock is 15 actually but i got a hmf pipe and jetted carb so i think its gunna be a beast in low end:)

I think you might be happier with a 14 but who knows, the 13 might work out for you, gearing will be awfully short

try a 16

yeah its gunna be shorter but where i ride its just lots of short stuff and 3rd gear is the highest i can really get and when im in the track i ride the 15 tooth just doesnt work out at all

ohhh then sounds like a 13 might work great for you

the question is do you need more torque??? sometimes even if you stay in third gear the whole time having longer gears is not a bad idea. having more torque might actually make you less effective if you cant keep the power to the ground.

[ridehonda400ex]

well i just need to get in the high RPMs faster and lets just say that the stocker is trashed and so was the chain, i had to get a new chain too lol

ew i see. Well youll never know if you like it till you try it! and its an easy swap so if you dont like it....switch it :)

[ridehonda400ex]

yepp. i might get the 14 tooth also sometime since there pretty cheap

[ridehonda400ex]

well i got it all put on tonight and took a quick test drive and WOW! it pulls the wheels up in every gear until 4th, but i didnt get it into 5th gear but i love the sprocket. but when i go to Dumont next thanksgiving ill probably get a bigger sprocket on there

I have 14t front and 38 rear and no matter what I max out 1st and 2nd way to easy. I originally had 15t and 38t and found it ok but lacking a bit evenw ith the 416 (maybe a stage 1 cam woulda been better than a stg 2 in my case).

So I bought went back to a 15t and a 39t and hoping its a happy medium.

Changing the front is very drastic change, for every 1 tooth you go down or up in the front equals 3 teeth in the rear. I tried a 16t, tons of speed but no torque.
