dazole Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 hi i have just done the speedometer re-wire job on my dt 125 re 2005 and it works lovely pulling better,more power at high revs and a top speed of 80+. this is of course much better but it gets a bit thrashed when reaching 70.would / could i upgrade the spocket set to improve perfomance at top end speed? ie: bigger front and rear sprocket set. any thoughts/info would be much appreciated thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan09 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 By putting a bigger rear sprocket on youll just be increasing acceleration, youd be better off with just a couple of teeth less on the back and leave the front. That said the bike might struggle to get up to speed as it doesnt have loads of power in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan09 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Do you know what the standard gearing is? I cant remember off the top of my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keiran95 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 the standard setup is 16T Front and 57T rear, i think its best to stick with the stock setup but let me know how you get on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan09 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 okay if so then a 19 front will be too much, id say just try the rear one first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
