hey guys just wondering if anyone no's if you can get anything smaller then a 24 for a rear sprocket or is that the smallest they go

Adam z50+R · 06-26-2009, 06:11 AM

what Motor & wheel sise are you running ? have you got an 18t front sprocket already?

gav · 06-26-2009, 06:12 AM

yx160 with 8 inch wheels and a 17 front sprocket

Adam z50+R · 06-26-2009, 06:17 AM

try an 18t front it Makes quite a difference what rear sprocket do you currently have?

Adam z50+R · 06-26-2009, 06:20 AM

i'M running 18t front 29t rear \ which still gives Me adequate acceleration and top speed \ i plan on trying a 24t rear soon

gav · 06-26-2009, 06:21 AM

i cant fit the chain with a 18 the 17 is really close and i have a 24 rear

Adam z50+R · 06-26-2009, 06:23 AM

can you not slightly Modify your case around the front sprocket to accept 18t? this is norMally the task with honda 50 Motors

gav · 06-26-2009, 06:25 AM

it will take a fair bit as the 17 is almost hitting now

Adam z50+R · 06-26-2009, 06:28 AM

oh

iM not sure of a sMaller sprocket than 24t unless you have one Made \ what speed have you got with the current sprockets ?

gav · 06-26-2009, 06:29 AM

120 in third gear with 3/4 throttle but in 1st and second it just wants to power lift up

Adam z50+R · 06-26-2009, 06:32 AM

Jesus F**K what are you running with that yx how many CCs what carb and head??????????? my god 17 front and 24 rear wow!!! did you need to balance the wheels or need a steering stabilizer????????

gav · 06-26-2009, 06:40 AM

that was stock yx 160 with a vm26 carby and didnt need to do anything to the wheels and a 85kg rider

gav · 06-26-2009, 06:41 AM

i may have to look at going back to 10 inch wheel again

gav · 06-26-2009, 07:06 AM

might need to get a set of +1 fork legs to fit the 10's

s_10onbagz · 06-26-2009, 10:11 PM

You will probably need a longer swing arm as well. The bike really looks good. 17/24 gearing is pretty intense. I couldn't imagine 75mph on 8" wheels. What size are those tires? What seat is that and how tall are those bars?

cdoublejj · 06-27-2009, 12:46 AM

oh 75mph i thought he meant 120mph but i think i checked the thread with my phone and didn't see the pics or his location.
