300EX sprockets

[tolson]

anyone have any advise on changing my stock 300EX sprockets to gain some more top end and lower bottom end torque?:p

There is no way to do what you are asking!

You either have to go with more top end or more bottom end. there is no way you can gain both with sprokets.

i have a 14 tooth front sprocket and i love the difference!

What he said.... To get what you want, you have to do pipe/filter/motor mods.

i have a white bros e-series, and i want to add a k&n filter. i need a little edge on those blasters in the longer starights. i race harescrambles in the woods i do ok, but those little @#$! are hard to pass on the straights. will any sprocket change help in the top end. both front and rear or just one?

Go with a 14 front, and see if you like it better.

wont' that give me more bottom end. i all ready have the problem of pulling wheelies at the start? I need more top end.

Like most everyone else said go w/ a 14T front, thats what I run on the trails & it makes a big difference!!

[tolson]

i'm gonna try the 14 front. what about the chain. my stock chain seems not to have a master link?

you gotta race so I CAN catch you!!!!!

[ex kid]

tim you might have to adjust your chain tension when your done because the sprocket is bigger it will take up more slack so check the tension.

alot of stock chains don't have masterlinks so you either have to buy a chain breaker or get a grinder and grind the pins on a link out.

I love my 14 tooth sprocket.

heres the whole thing-the 14 tooth will give you more top end but you will either need to custom grind your case saver to make that fit or keep the stock 13 tooth and run a 36 tooth out back. or if you want more bottem end to pop easy wheelies go with a 12 tooth or keep the 13 tooth and go with a 40 tooth out back. also the more tooth the more chain its gonna take so you might need a new chain. i run a 14 front and 38 rear and i just ahd to loosen the tensioner to make it fit. it even had some slack afterward but then retighten the tensioner to keep correct amount of slack.
