front sprocket!

[andyboy359]

Hello I have an aprilia rs 50cc 2007, and i need a new front sprocket, its a 13 tooth and i have heard if i put a 14tooth on it will go faster.
Questions is this true?
and if so how much more speed do i get??

It use to go about 55mph now i can red line it and a push it will do 50.... the sprocket i have atm has 3 teeth missing.

Thanks Andrew

Why not buy both and compare the performance? They aren't exactly expensive to buy.

but then what to do with the slower one

[Pete.]

Save it for when the engine is knackered and can't pull up hill.

Ragging a small engine at the redline all the time will knacker it... as in it will need rebuilding sooner rather than later...

Putting a smaller sprocket on there will make the bike accelerate faster but have a lower top end speed.
A bigger sprocket it will accelerate slower but give a higher top end speed...

Its a trade off between acceleration and top speed...

but iv been told its the back sproket that does all the top speed and that is that rite?? :S

[andyboy359]

so how much faster would 1 tooth do on a 50?? about 5mph??

so i got this bike till like aug so should i put a 14 tooth on it and know that it should be ok or stay with a 13 tooth??

[Frost]

A 14 will make the top speed higher, but make it accelerate slower, so it might not be able to pull the gear gearing, in effect lowering it's actual top speed. I'd stick with a 13 personally.

[andyboy359]

yh i think a 13 tooth will just be best tbh haha atleast i know was the sprokets do bigger and smaller front and back Thank you every one

[HD]

Yeah but you then have to change the chain if you go too far. And your bike may not be able to pull much higher speeds...
