Kymco Pulsar LX 125 Sprocket ' Air Filter Question

[EwOkiE]

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

Thanks for the reply I know that going UP one tooth in front gives you a higher top speed but a little less acceleration. Going DOWN 1 tooth in front gives you quicker acceleration but a lower top end.

But top gearing on this bike doesnt seem like it wants to pull you its just a tad faster from go shes looking for, like overtaking etc...

So say go down one tooth in front , need a chain to fit then right?

Is there an air filter or free flow type for this bike as the foam one I am not that keen on

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.

You can just measure the diameter of the carb and buy a cheap cone filter on eBay to put on it. You'd then need to fart about upjetting the carb though, easier to just replace the foam one.

Drop a tooth on the front sprocket if she wants more oomph but you'll lose top end. You can get less result adding teeth to the rear, a rough guide is 1 tooth on/off the front is equivalent to 3 off/on the rear. You are never going to get blazing overtakes riding a cg copy engine though, if it makes it to a bit past 60 Mph I'd leave the sprocket sizes alone personally, no point getting to 30 a bit quicker if you can't make NSL.

If she wants to go faster tell her to get a proper licence.

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
