sprocket on the rear of a 4 wheeler more teeth gives more power or top end speed
l wanna give the 4 wheeler more take off power
All three are correct but fail to tell you one thing. (by the
way, 2 teeth on the rear you wouldn't even notice)
There is such a thing as a sprocket ''overlay'' which bolts on around ur
rear sprocket to save you some bucks & you keep the old sprocket right on
the bike for a quick change if you want to.
Something else to consider is if you go with more teeth, & that means a
larger sprocket also, you will need to lengthen ur chain. If you go to a smaller counter shaft (front) sprocket all you need to do is adjust the chain you have. I used to race a 250 Suzuki X-6 hustler & had an 11, 12, 13 14 & 15 tooth counter shaft sprockets & I could change from a hill climber to a road racer in a matter of minuets & just adjust the chain. Depending upon how radical you want to go one tooth makes quite a difference. All bikes have a different ratio but for my Suzuki one tooth on the front was equal to 11 on the rear if I remember right, that was a LONG time ago.
You already have two correct . The more teeth on the rear, the
more revolutions or chain links to make a single revolution of the wheel.
More teeth = more power on the rear (larger sprocket)
Less teeth = more speed
The front sprocket is the exact opposite
A bigger rear or smaller front will give more take-off power.
A bigger front or smaller rear will give you more top-end speed.
Try going with a 2 tooth bigger rear.
