Each little piece that settles between the chain link is called a tooth, so consider the teeth on it as a sprocket. There are fixed gear or a free types, both connect to the rear hub on the wheel.
yes and a smaller sprocket will give you a faster start up and larger sprocket will give you a higher top speed as long as your taking about the back sprocket other wise its flipped around.
A bigger front sprocket gives a higher top speed. A bigger rear sprocket gives a lower top speed. A bigger front sprocket is less torque more top speed, and a bigger rear sprocket is more torque less top speed.
I have a 2004 cr85r withe a "15 in the front and a "47 in the back
depends if the sprocket is bigger or smaller than a stock sprocket.
The drive sprocket to driven sprocket ratio is a measure of the relationship between the number of teeth on the drive sprocket and the number of teeth on the driven sprocket in a chain or gear system. This ratio determines how speed and torque are transferred in the system; a higher ratio means the drive sprocket will rotate more times than the driven sprocket, increasing speed but reducing torque. Conversely, a lower ratio increases torque while reducing speed. This ratio is crucial for optimizing performance in applications like bicycles, motorcycles, and machinery.
as fast or slow as you want, it depends on the gearing, big front sprocket w/ little back sprocket = speed, small front big rear = torque but with a 14/42 you might reach 75-80 w/ wind at your back
A stock Honda crf450r will hit about 90-95 mph.But it all depends on the weight of the rider and what your tooth ratio is on your sprocket's? If you have a small sprocket on the front and a big sprocket on the back you are going to get more top end speed than acceleration .if it is the opposite way around you are going to get more acceleration but less top end speed.
typically you want a a smaller sprocket in back and bigger one in front.. bigger one in back with stock in front will cause quicker acceleration small on back and big in front will cause you more speed but if you put a smaller one in back put a bigger one in front
generally a racing BMX is built for speed, hence they are made lighter than normal bikes and also have a bigger sprocket witch enables the driver( back sprocket) to go faster.
I have a 52 tooth back sprocket on mine to give it more take off and it can still do about 90 km/h max
If its a road bike, chances are its geared exactly correctly to match power with top speed. Essentially if you add teeth to the rear wheel sprocket, you will shorten the gearing and the engine will hit top revs in top gear before the bike reaches top speed. If you add teeth to the engine sprocket, the opposite effect, less torque in top gear leaving the bike short on top speed.
You can change the chain sprockets of most motorcycles to get a higher top speed. Reduce the rear sprocket numerically, and/or increase the front sprocket numerically. A higher profile tire will also increase top speed slightly.
