Sprocket Swap

[GMKILLER5.0]

I know it's probably been beaten to death like a but I want to go up on the rear sprocket on my Gen I. So I am currently at 17/40. I was thinking about 17/43 or 17/44? At what point do I need to replace the chain? What are your recommendations? I use the bike basically as a cruiser, and like to have a little fun. Just looking for a little more response when I get on it.

Thanks Much!!

17/43 will fit on the stock chain...44 will not

17/43 is a lot on fun

Mr. BA BUSA speaketh the truth!

Are you sure? I'm running 18/43, and 17/44 should take very close to the same chain length.

Regardless, try 17/43, GMKILLER5.0. It'll wake it up plenty .

I agree!! Have had 17/43 for a long time and it has worked very well.

I just picked up my 43 from the dealer yesterday! (ill be 17/43)... CANT WAIT!!

 

[garnett]

the easiest sollution for what you want to do is go down 1 tooth in the front..........1 down in front = 3 up in rear!!!!

 

[djsin]

17/43 on mine, also done 16/43...18/43/... 16/40
but the one i like best is 17/43

not true....and the more you change the more the ratio differs
gearingcommander.com

17/43 = 172.9 16/40= 174.9 not the same..not even close 2 mph difference @ top gear and 10,000 rpm
if u multiply it times 2 its off even more 15/40=164 17/46=161.6 2.4 mph difference @ top gear and 10,000 rpm

in the chart stock is 17/40 currant is 16/40 and custom is 17/43 for reference...vortex sprokets is what i use

 

[BUBBA]

I want to go one down in front on my '09 which puts me at 17/43.
What brand is best, Vortex?
Thanks
Bubba

 

[djsin]

vortex, or stealth tri metal

Going down on the front wears the chain out faster than going up in the rear

 

[GMKILLER5.0]

Plus, changing the rear gets rid of the ugly stocker along with the added performance, and less chain wear, seems like, a WIN, WIN, WIN situation!!!!

16/42 sprockets will do that for you.

I decided to go with 43 rear. It seems be the natural progression od this madness.
