Does a bigger front sprocket make you go faster?
Substituting a larger front or smaller rear sprocket lowers the ratio (sometimes called “taller” gearing), resulting in more speed for a given engine rpm. Likewise, a smaller front or larger rear sprocket gives less speed for a given rpm (“shorter” gearing).
What happens if I put a smaller front sprocket on my motorbike?
Installing a larger countershaft sprocket creates higher gearing, while a larger rear sprocket lowers gearing. Similarly, a smaller front sprocket lowers the gearing while a smaller rear sprocket makes gearing higher.

How do I choose a sprocket?
For more bottom end and faster acceleration, use a small countershaft/front sprocket or large rear sprocket. For every 1 tooth that you change on the front sprocket is like changing 3 to 4 teeth on the rear (and that’s true for higher gearing ratios, too).
What sprocket is best for wheelies?
If your wanting to do long street wheelies, then a smaller 14t front sprocket and a little clutch dump will do the trick. IMHO , stunting slower stuff with bigger sprockets are A LOT safer than faster wheelies.

What size BMX front sprocket?
Old BMX bikes were equipped with 48T (teeth) sprockets, however this is not a standard nowadays. Most common sprocket size today is 25T or 28T with 23,7mm bore. There are two basic sprocket types – bolt drive and spline drive.
How do I choose a bike sprocket?
Sprocket Ratios This is determined by the the number of teeth on the front sprocket, compared to the number of teeth in the rear sprocket. For example, a motorcycle with a 17-tooth front sprocket and a 45-tooth rear sprocket would have a ratio of 2.65 (45 divided by 17 = 2.65).

What sprocket is best for speed?
For more top end and faster top speed, use a large countershaft/front sprocket or smaller rear sprocket. This creates a taller gearing ratio that’s best for high speed situations without many tight turns like wide open desert racing.
