What size sprocket gives more torque?
Sprocket sizes are a part of the gearing ratios for the bike, as are the wheels and transmission. If the front sprocket is small and the rear is large, you will have more low end power but less top speed. The smaller the front and the larger the rear, the more torque you will have, with a drop in top speed.
Does a larger rear sprocket increase torque?
A larger rear sprocket will reduce top speed but increase rear wheel torque at the same road speed as RPM will increase.
Is a sprocket with more teeth 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).
Which gear gives the most torque?
More torque is produced by lower gears. Power remains essentially constant through all gears, however the product of torque and speed is power… so as you change to lower gears delivering more torque, you will operate at lower rotational speeds. Higher gears yield less torque but more rotational speed.
What happens when you change the sprocket size on a motorcycle?
This ratio determines how engine RPM is translated into wheel speed by the bike. Changing sprocket sizes, front or rear, will change this ratio, and therefore change the way your bike puts power to the ground.
When do I need to replace my sprocket chain?
When changing your sprockets due to wear, you will also need to replace your chain. The chain and sprocket relationship is best when the two wear together. Mixing an old chain with a new sprocket – or vice versa – will shorten the life of either. Not a good idea.
Do you have to change chain length when changing gearing?
Always remember that you’ll need to adjust your chain based on the manufacturer recommendations to compensate for any larger or smaller sprockets. Keep one-tooth and two-teeth larger rear sprockets and a one-tooth lower countershaft with you so you can change gearing on the go without changing your chain length.
What kind of engine does a Suzuki gs1000gl have?
GS1000GL was manufactured between 1980 and 1982. Engine type: Air-cooled 997 cc inline-4, DOHC, 8 valves. 90 ps (66 kW)/ 8.500 rpm, 8,0 kg-m/ 7.500 rpm. The picture shows the GS1000L. The shaft-driven model now being the only one liter GS model with an eight-valve engine, the ’81 GS1000GX was presented in January 1981.
