16t sprocket

[slow600]

anybody ever fit a 16t front sprocket and was able to keep/modify the case saver? thanks

Not too sure if you can fit it with the case saver, but I know you can fit up to a 17 on the front with minor filing of the case for chain clearance.

Won't fit. The two case guard mounts hit the sprocket. I tried a 16T for my ice prep.

If you want I have a brand spankin' new one for sale ! (i'll even throw in a hacksaw to ensure the sprocket fits)

Wow, that bike must have been mutha fuggen fast!!! What was the top speed on the bad boy?

[slow600]

geared 15/43 now. seems like i still gotta shift gears awfully fast on the street. i want to keep my case guard, guess ill have to stick with current gearing for now. only smaller rear sprockets im aware of are custom units.

i thought sidewinder made down to a 38

Check Sprocket Specialist or Rebel gears. I know one of them ( if not both ) has the 38 and somebody even makes a 37.  Not sure who, but maybe CBX will help out with this.  I believe he has a 37.

thanks for the tips. i went ahead and got a 16t coming, gonna see first hand how the fit is. i sent a couple emails requesting prices/turn-around time on a custom rear sprocket.

did you run your motor yet

[slow600]

sure did, runs awesome. ive never had a motard that would burn the rear tire off exiting a turn or just straight line ripping until now. if only i could stay out of the pipe, this thing loves to drink gas at an alarming rate. small price to pay i suppose

takes fuel to make power

Slow600,
Sounds as you have your K5 running good. You posted else where that you had problems with the 450's hanging on the straights (quick search did not find it). If you are now looking for more gear & spinning the tire you found the solution? I read you switched to the PC2 & the VF2 anything else??

I know when I geared my shifter kart to my local track, they tell you to try to just touch peak rpm's 3/4 way down your longest straight. How long of a road course are you racing on? If you PM me your email address, I can send you my Excel based gearing caculator program (you do need to know what peak rpm's are on your engine).
