I just bought one of these used....

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.

rickieh · 10-21-2012, 02:09 AM

I have no idea how many the front has or even how to get to it. but hey Ill do whichever to get it to 55mph.

Weldangrind · 10-21-2012, 02:12 AM

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

rickieh · 10-21-2012, 02:24 AM

do i need to remove anything on the engine to get it out?

Weldangrind · 10-21-2012, 02:56 AM

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.

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.

rickieh · 10-21-2012, 04:31 PM

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

The front sprocket doesn't have more "impact" than the rear sprocket. The front sprocket is merely easier, and less expensive to change.

a sprocket is like 10-20 bucks,what else am I looking at?

rickieh · 10-21-2012, 10:57 PM

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?

Any good motor oil will work well, just avoid "energy saving" motor oils which won't work with the bike's wet clutch.

You might enjoy reading the following articles on motor oil.

I prefer to use 15W/40, commercial grade, diesel motor oil in my motorcycles, as recommended in the links I provided.

However, 10W/40 motor oil is also excellent.

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?
