Need some info on my new bike.
I just bought one of these used....
http://motorcycle-specs.com/motorcyc...00GY&year=2006 http://www.motosportsparts.com/s.nl/...tegory.8518/.f and I am very pleased,but the back sprocket has like 57 teeth.Does anyone know a compatible sprocket that I can buy off of Ebay or somehting with fewer teeth so I can go a little faster? I dont need torque really so I'm not concerned with the loss of power but I really do need to go about 10mph faster. |

Welcome!
How many teeth does the front sprcoket have? That would be easier / cheaper.

The countershaft sprocket cover is held on with two or three bolts; likely 8mm heads.

Just the aforementioned cover. Really easy.

Welcome; we are glad you joined us.
After you remove the front sprocket cover we can verify which new sprocket will fit your bike. Spud

Welcome to the forum.
Nice bike. Identical to my fist CB, a HSUN. I went to 45 tooth sprockets on the two I had and considered it optimal for dual sport riding.

Why is it that the front will have a bigger impact than the back?

so I tried to get my sprocket off today but I cant even get the cover off.
I cant get the part circled in white off because it's hitting the part circled in red? http://i47.tinypic.com/2cdbcec.jpg also what oil are you guys running? |

I don't see how the starter reduction gears could be preventing you from removing the front sprocket cover. :? Can you post a photograph of your problem? Spud
