How much trouble was it to change?
The difference was unreal.I bet it made a HUGE difference crawling up the rocks huh!
Maybe so... but for now, its like i put 4.10 gears in it and i really like it!When people start doing internal mods they will be going to the 15t to kill some of the torque.
Agreed.That depends on the purpose. For rock crawling/ technical trails not so much.
Also for the sand (depending on the tires) not so much either.
I agree 100% Its definitely faster the 2nd time than the 1st time.Yup, My first trail ride I caught hell on up hill starts and so on, but the next ride the bike seemed to have loosened up a bit and things got easier. The third ride I had the big three on it and it made a HUGE difference in low speed crawls. Seems like when I first had the bike it would not even idle in first gear, now I can take off with no throttle in first and creep along
I just want the big 3 right now. Reading everyone's stories about the power increases have me excited about that!I will have dyno results Jan 20th with the big 3 and a ported TB and head! CANT WAIT!!!! Even the guys at the dyno said they were excited to finally get one in.
You will NOT regret it. Besides, if you dont like it the sprocket is 28 from the dealer and 15 online. Also only takes 15 minutes to swap. VERY easy.That's it, I'm ordering mine tomorrow.
I got mine from DFW Honda. They had it in stock, Renthal Part # 253-520-13GPWhere did you get yours from?
I went to Al Lamb Honda (when I lived in Plano) and they said it would take two weeks to order it. They didn't know at the time that the sprocket was the same as a 450r (until I told them) They also didn't even know the corredct oil filter I should have....wanted me to bring my 700xx in so they could open it up and check the part number.
Um....no.
Rocky Mountain ATV here I come...
I have had nothing a 100% positive experience with DFW Honda in Grapevine, TX so far. Very friendly, always helpful.You get dumb looks for free at Al Lamb.
I'm 100% Stock right now, except the sprocket.It seems to me that the 13T would make first almost useless unless you were rock crawling. 1st is awfully short as it is. How much did it affect 1st thru 3rd? 3rd is where the problem is on the XX. Please, more info!
Did your pipe/efi/air mods affect your bottom end, or the bogging in 3rd gear?
