Smaller front spocket and front sticker above headlight....
Permalink  
 


Could anyone tell me where to get a smaller front sprocket and what size to get? Ive heard that people get one with 1 less tooth than standard but how many is that? Also would it make a drastic difference to my bikes acceleration im not really worried about top speed..

Secondly could someone show me where to get the white sticker that goes above the front headlight? I think it only came on the older DTs and didnt come on the 04's onwards?

Thanks in advance

I think the standard sprocket is 16 tooth, I have put a 15 tooth sprocket on my wifes bike shaves a little off the top end but gives better low down pull, good if you want to do a bit of off road work as well 1 tooth on the front is more or less the same as 3 teeth on the rear sprocket, my wifes bike is 15 - 50, you should be able to order one from any good bike shop.
Motoward is a Yamaha specialist try them for spocket and sticker, here is a link to the web sight. biggrin

If i remember right the standard sizes for a dt (88-04) is 16-57
Personally i tend to adjust sprocket sizes on the rear first as it gives the output shaft and its bearing an easier time.
One tooth less on the front will definitly give the bike a boost in acceleration and an easier time pulling wheelies.Probably knock 5-10mph off top speed.

White Sticker ??
I think your on about the white number board thing ??
5" high by 9" Wide ??

They do come on the later models, in different colours [white on blue bikes etc ]

Yammy will cost daft money, but if you wan't factory look ?
Or a couple of lads on here do graphics ! and will knock one up if you measure size / shape ..
