Can you flip a sprocket over?
NO. The sprocket is worn, creating play between the chain and itself. Flipping it will continue to wear it, but if its already out of spec, it could be disastrous.
Does changing sprockets affect odometer?
If you change gearing and your bike’s speedo pickup is on the front sprocket, it will affect your odometer reading to the same degree. If the pickup is on the front wheel, it’s will still read speed and mileage at the factory rate.
Why are front and rear sprockets the same?
These components are the front sprocket, rear sprocket, and drive chain. The reason for this is because the chain and sprockets mate together. If a worn sprocket were mated to a new drive chain, the wear rate of the chain would be much higher than if it were matched with a new sprocket.
When do you know it’s time for new sprockets?
Worn sprockets will exhibit a hooked wear pattern. In severe cases, teeth will become rounded or worn entirely off. Notice the shape difference between the teeth of the used sprockets vs. the new ones. These are the typical signs it’s time for new sprockets.
Where can I get a sprocket set for my transmoto?

What’s the difference between a 38 and 38 rear sprocket?
Maybe a smaller rear sprocket will get the same result as the Current setup. Now enter a 38 rear sprocket and check the differences: Now the difference between Custom and Current is – 1.49 % (less RPM at same speed). This is even a bit more (and in the other direction) off as compared to the current setup.
Where does the wear occur on a drive sprocket?
Sprocket wear occurs on the leading edge of the drive sprocket and trailing edge of the driven sprocket. When the direction of rotation and forces are considered, this is easy to comprehend.
Sprocket sets, drive chains, countershaft seal kits, chain rollers, and sprocket bolts are all available from ProX for most makes and models.
