13/54 setup

BigCountry · 08-19-2007, 12:59 AM

I was thinking about running a 13/54 sprocket setup for sand hill climbing here in the desert. I read a couple of forums in the honda world and they highly recommended it. Just wanted to know what ya'll think. I'm not really worried about top-end. Thanks.

That is pretty low, but should give you plenty of power in the sand. What do you have right now?

i'm running 15/54 right now. I just ordered the 13 and can't wait to see how it goes. I'm also thinking about gutting my muffler for more power. Any suggestions?

Your muffler looks just like mine. I took off the end-cap, and took out the spark arrestor. If you run it without the spark arrestor and cap it makes a difference. You'll get your exhaust away from the engine faster without those getting in the way.

It's one of the favorite "cheap or free" mods we like to do in ohio. 8)

Big,
13/54 may chew up your chain guide a bit more.. I posted a ratio page on here awhile ago, I'll see if I can find it...

13/54 is what you need. I have a 15/54 on my MX150 and I am going to put a 13 on the front as soon as I can find one. A Zongshen 13 tooth sprocket will fit my bike. Do u know where I can get one? Thanks Larry

Hmmmm... I have or can get just about any sprocket for these 200cc Dual Sport Chinese bikes, as long as it's made in the number of teeth that you need.
