 Posted: 20:19 - 28 Feb 2015 Post subject: Kymco Pulsar LX 125 Sprocket ' Air Filter Question |
 |
|
Ok been a while but my missus is used to her wee bike now as it took a lot of time getting it low for her..
Read somewhere that there is a sprocket mod for more speed (well just a tad) anyone know the link or what sprockets to use?
Also took the air filter out (foam type) and it basically just fell apart in my hand when doing an inspection.
Any link or parts or where to get one?
This type

There is no such a thing as sprocket mod and I would not advice you to try ''gain'' speed fiddling with the final drive gear ratio, since the small 125cc single cylinder has just enough torque to barely move the wheel with the ratio it's got from the factory.
Anyway,
Top speed = less teeth back or more teeth front (not gonna work on your bike)
Acceleration = more teeth back or less teeth front (will work, but it'll ruin the MPG)
In real life, there's always place for better acceleration, but there's no place for more speed I'm afraid. If you can rev the engine barely up to the top at the top gear with the factory final drive gear ratio, that's about as good as it gets.  ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

The bike has got long top gear to get better MPG, getting a bit more acceleration will actually move the top speed up a bit, but not much. It's definitely not worth the worse MPG and more engine heat.
Take one tooth out of the front sprocket, the chain tensioners should cover the difference so you won't need to cut or get a new chain.
The filter, can't find it.  ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

Shes after my CBR but no chance of that
Would replace the foam filter but cant find it unless I find the right type of foam to make one with a glue gun or something |
