[Mathius]

A sprocket would be cheaper than the hub..

Just to make sure 2000-front 13t, 87 rear-40t sprockets and a 520-98 chain will work??

 

[bones]

yeah that should work.. is that not what was on it

 

[1statv]

A 12t was on front but I rather replace new sprockets with new chain.

 

[1statv]

Good or bad??

 

[bones]

worn but you shouldnt have a problem for the weekend i have seen way worse still working

 

[1statv]

Is it possible since it worn it can damage the new x ring chain?? At Mathis a 13/40 won't be good for trails??

That rear sprocket looks ok..
13/40 is stock. I found at 13/40 you wind up really fast, and have a lame top speed.. 14/40, or even 14/38 is the best gearing on these quads IMO. They have a fair amount of bottom end, and pull hard even with higher gearing.

Well I can't find a 38 rear for a 87 sprocket hub .. All I see is 40,42,45

 

[Mathius]

I have a 38 on mine. I got it on ebay.

I found that the highest rear gear you can get for 1st gens is 37.
A 15/37 set up would really cook I bet... lol

i have gps'ed my warrior with 15/38 at 73mph but i know gps in aren't that accurate

All those combos you guys are throwing out are for top speed. What about low end without killing to much top end?

Well thats what I was say'n with the first combos.. Their good for trails, and a stock motor. 14/40, or 13/38. Those will give you a good balance on tighter trails..

If you had a well built 366, with a beefy cam, and a good flow'n exhaust. Well then you could look at gearing like 14/38, or 15/40.. Maybe even higher, like 15/38 if you run flatter more open trails.

I/ve ran 15/40 for a couple of months and like it lol

I have 13/38 on my 1st gen with 22" tires. Works great for the trails, I can lug it in 3rd or sometimes 4th depending on the terrain. I like it because with the smaller front sprocket over the 14/40, it pulls a little harder I've found. You can also get 37 and 38 tooth rears from denniskirk. I plan to run 14/37 on the stroker, but am getting 15 to try out also. So I'll have 13/14/15 fronts, 40/38/37 rears to try gearing combos out with. I'm also planning on using the 21x11-9 GNCC rears.

I hear ya on have'n extra gears. I have a 13, 14, and a 15 for my 490. Then 38, 39, and a 40 for rear sprockets.

I really like the 13/38 set up I'm running now. It seems to keep the motor in the powerband nicely. :iagree:
But I plan on running the dunes next year, so I'll probably go 15/39 for that.

 

[1statv]

Would 13/38 be a good combo for a motor with a slip on,performance CDI, drilled air filter lid??

 

[Gen1Pat]

Yeah it would work fine. I'm running it because I have the stock size tires in the rear, and ride tight trails where the lower gears are needed, and where I lugg a grear high a lot. If I had 20's I'd go 14/40. Not that my bike can't handle that gearing with the 22's (you've seen my mod list in my sig), but it feels really good to me with the 13/38 and 22's. I figure it is close to 14/40 with 20's.
