Hey guys, i've been kinda hanging around the site and finally decided to become a member. I'm looking to get a little more top speed without losing to much low end torque. I've been reading where some of you guys are going with the 34t sprocket for the rear and keeping the stock sprocket on the front. This sounds like it's what i'm looking for, but i'm wondering what else i need done to the quad to support this if anything? Also how hard is it to do? This is my first quad and i'm kinda new to this scene, but i'm a quick learner when it comes to hands on work. Anyway, if you guys could chime in that would be cool. As of right now i'm getting ready to order the DynoJet PowerProgrammer, a full exhaust system (When does the Yoshi come out or has it already?), and does anybody have a good intake out yet for it? I'm looking for suggestions as mentioned before i'm pretty new to this quad game.

You can order the part from:

http://www.sprocketspecialists.com/
part number 2946 (2946-34 for a 34t rear)
ended up being $82 shipped.

You will need to shorten your stock chain and then adjust your chain slack. You have the tools in your tool kit to adjust the chain slack.

here are a couple of pics of mine:

and with the new chain:

Best mod along with the PCIII and lid off

I know PDR is working on an intake, should be soon. Yoshi is out already.

good luck

Is that the harden sprocket????

If not its worth the extra 12$ toget it....

 

[topdollr]

no its not the harden one? not sure if its worth it or not but it was a delay in sending it out so I went without

How well does the 34t sprocket perform over the stock 38t? Also do you lose any bottom end or does it stay the same with the sprocket change?

 

[topdollr]

no loss and all gain! search around and you we'll be able to find countless others who have done it without regrets

 

[450Duner]

ok thanks for the info.

34 tooth is a must for the dunes. I go back to my 38 for the trails and track though. I got the unhardened 34 and I'm seeing it start to wear a bit already.

Well, i've got the PowerCommander III on the way along with a Yoshi Pipe. I think however i'm going to keep the stock sprocket on the back and front as most of what i do is trail riding and hill climbing.

How hard is it to use the Commander? And did you guys notice a big difference in just the Commander and pipe swap, or do i need to look more into something else to get gains out of the bike.

HOW IS THE SPROKET HOLDING UP

 

[DTOLL]

Well, i went ahead and ordered a 34T for the rear, but i have a few questions. Whats the easiest way of going about installing this. Any heads up on anything that could go wrong. I've never really done work on a quad before so this will be a learning experience for me.

Doesnt take much just loosen the carrier bolts, remove the sprocket nuts, take sprocket off, take chain off and break not sure how many links need taken out but I think I read 1 link was enough then reinstall everything. Just make sure you get the chain slack correct and the torq settings for the carrier bolts from the manual

Thanks for the reply. I've been looking around for some install tips and couldn't find anything anywhere. Thanks again.

If I get the 34T, would I need to break the chain with a 15T up front?

Good question, with a 34T rear, 15T front combo, do you need to change anything on the chain? I cant imagine having to do anything but installing the two, and taking out the slack in the chain.

I hav 33tr/15tf I took out 1 link.....

 

[offroadhunter]

Just got the 15t front in the mail, now just need my quad back from the dealer so I can put it on..

Yes but 33t is smaller than 34, it just seems like the 15t/34t combo would even itself out no?

Why a two peice sprocket? I'm a little new to the atv industry, but i cant see a two peice sprocket holding together for long?

becuase the inside dia of the sprocket wont slip around the hub. I know a few kfx's on here that have this same sprocket with no issues becuase of the two piece design. I know PCAmerica's broke a tooth on his.
