What was your stock front sprocket size?

Mine was a 16t

Icebear Fuerza was 15T. I changed it out to 17T. Dealer I bought it from through the carb upgrade kit and a bigger sprocket for free.

Did you ride with the 15t for awhile or just go straight to 17t. If so what was your top speed on the 15t?

I was surprised to see the 16t in the stock hellcat. I have a 17t i bought for it but think i'll at least ride the 16t through the break-in period. I don't know how much different going up 1T would help anyway

Mine has a 16t. I’ll most likely go up to a 17. I’m having to change gears before I can even get half way through a intersection. I’m in 4th gear cruising at 35-40

I picked up maybe 5 mph top speed.

I rode the 15t for maybe 100 miles. I had gotten my sprocket for free so I figured may as well put it in. This was the first motorcycle i've owned/ridden. I'm mostly a car guy so I'm decently mechanically inclined as long as I don't have to weld.

Sprocket change took me a total of 15 min. I'd recommend doing it. If you don't like it, you can always swap back. If you have the 16t already... I'd probably just keep it and not bother.

My hellcat came with a 16T, I switched it out with a 17T and a 32T in the back, I "might" swap the 32T back to the 34T tho, but as is I can cruise around 55 mph on flat ground, downhill I can pin it around 65 to 68. I can also max out 3rd gear at around 50 mph. The only reason I may go back to the 34T in the back is I'm not sure if I geared it too much, or wasn't really a big enough difference to sacrifice the little bit of the lower end. I also I have a 26mm Carb with a 26mm air tube and after market air filter instead of the stock 25mm Carb with a 19mm air tube and the air box filter. I'm also using a 105 main jet in the carb too.
