Actually you'd have lower ALL gears not just 1st gear. Prior to 2006, the 450r had a 14t front sprocket... which is what you already have. You can get a wide range of front sprockets from about $8-$9 up to $21.99 for a Renthal at rockymountainatv.com.Does the year matter on the trx450 when ordering the 13t. I can count on one hand how many times I have hit 5th gear riding in the woods trails, so losing a little top end speed does not matter. A lower first would be nice.
I totally agree. The 13t really woke it up. I still have the 14t just in case I try for the big 3 one day.just ask for a 13T for a 2008 trx450, it makes the bike have more pep, takes off easier, and you will like it fo the dunes and trails.
all i have is the 13t and i dont feel the need for any other mods....although i feel the want![]()
