Front sprocket noise
Hey all, I changed out the front to a 13 tooth a couple of months ago, and love the power difference. Yesterday a friend of mine that has a couple of boys that race motocross told me that the chain was a little loose, so I tightened it up 2 notches on the adjusters and now when I pull the clutch and coast I can really hear the noise, is the chain too tight, or is that just what everyone was talking about when they first did the mod? What do you guys think? And finally and I promise this will be the last time I ask, but is there a 13 tooth with the rubber dampener and silencer built in, I am actually thinking about changing back to the 14 stock, but I don't want to loose the power I have gained thus far. Any ideas?

Any ideas? OR you can get at 45 tooth rear sprocket and longer chain and put the 14t back on the front. If you find a rubber damped 13t, you'll be a hero. I'm betting there is one out there, we just haven't found it yet. |

Deej, I went back to the 14. I figure when my chain and sprockets wear out, I'll get a different setup 14/45.

RE: Front sprocket noise
is a 14-45 the same as a 13-42? if so then I will order a rear sprocket right now. My dealer said when I bought the bike back in November that he could get back sprockets all day for this bike. And finally can I keep the plastic chain guard with a 45 rear sprocket? Thanks guys. Hey what about this sprocket?......Too big? LOL

RE: Front sprocket noise
deej,
You might want to order another chain while you're at it. The stock one WILL NOT FIT. Another, more simpler and economical fix is to wear earplugs. |
RE: Front sprocket noise
I just put my 13-tooth JT from denniskirk.com, and i have no noise and it fit like a glove.

RE: Front sprocket noise
When I went to the 13t sprocket I didn't notice any noise deference.Maybe its the brand of sprocket you bought. just a thought, I bought the AFAM sprocket and if there is more noise I didn't notice. [sm=smiley20.gif]

RE: Front sprocket noise
Update, I saw the same guy today, and he said I had the chain too tight, and you know I dropped it one notch and it was good.

RE: Front sprocket noise
Oh and today after work (well leaving 2 hours early because it was too nice to work) I headed out to a friends house that has a son who is 18 and a really good rider, and we hit some trails and a particular logging road that ends up down into a huge field, with lots of mud on the way down, that's right you all heard me right Deej finally got his bike dirty. LOL So this is all the fun I have been missing out on SWEET!!!
