Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere-I did look but couldn't find anything. Basically I'm considering changing the front sprocket on my TDR to a slightly bigger one (plus one or two teeth available from Wemoto) and would like to know if anyone's done this or if there's anything I should know before doing it! I'd just like the engine to use less revs when cruising at say 60-70 but don't know if a sprocket alone would do this. Obviously I'd lose out on acceleration a bit but the lower gears seem so close together I doubt this would be a problem.
Cool, I wasn't sure if I might need an extra couple of links in the chain or anything. Will order a sprocket on Monday and keep my fingers crossed! Thanks again
All sorted Haven't had a chance to ride it yet due to the wonderful English weather! Went on without a problem, although I did have to remove the rubber thing (guide?) from in front of the sprocket. Shouldn't effect anything though. Cheers for the advice guys
It's done everything I wanted it to basically! Now cruises at 65 at about 7000 rpm as opposed to about 9000. I think I probably should have gone for a 17T sprocket rather than the 18 if I did it again but it's certainly stretched the gears out and made it smoother
