"The DRZ400S comes with a 15 tooth sprocket in the front, and a 44 tooth in the rear. The DRZ400E comes with a 14 in the front, 47 in the rear. The front sprocket on the S has a rubber bushing around it, this is to keep noise down, and does not reduce vibration to the transmission.
What is the stock sprockets for a drz400sm?
The stock DRZ400S comes with a 15/44 sprocket set, which is way too tall for trail riding.
How many teeth are on a Drz front sprocket?
14 Jt Steel Front Sprocket 14 Tooth.
Is more teeth on a rear sprocket better?
Adding teeth to the front and rear sprockets have opposite effects. Installing a larger countershaft sprocket creates higher gearing, while a larger rear sprocket lowers gearing. Similarly, a smaller front sprocket lowers the gearing while a smaller rear sprocket makes the gearing higher.
Does a bigger rear sprocket make you go faster?
A bigger rear sprocket/ smaller front sprocket will give you an increase in acceleration but decrease your top speed. A smaller rear sprocket/bigger front sprocket will reduce you acceleration but increase the top speed.
What type of chain is on a DRZ400?
DRZ400: DrivetrainChain Size:Front Sprocket:Spark Plug:520x11214TCR8E
How do you change a front sprocket on a DRZ400?

So let's see can I squeeze this thing out of here and IMoreSometimes you do have to take the chain off. So let's see can I squeeze this thing out of here and I can so this is the old sprocket. Obviously it's a little bit worn.
What does a smaller back sprocket do?
Substituting a larger front or smaller rear sprocket lowers the ratio (sometimes called "taller" gearing), resulting in more speed for a given engine rpm. Likewise, a smaller front or larger rear sprocket gives less speed for a given rpm ("shorter" gearing).
What tooth sprocket should I use?
For more bottom end and faster acceleration, use a small countershaft/front sprocket or large rear sprocket. For every 1 tooth that you change on the front sprocket is like changing 3 to 4 teeth on the rear (and that's true for higher gearing ratios, too).
How do you pick a sprocket size?
To measure the chain size, if you have just the sprocket, use calipers to measure between the teeth. Measure from center to center of where the chain roller would set between the teeth that will give you the pitch. Once you know the pitch you can determine what chain size you would need.
What gear makes you go faster on a bike?
A lower, easier gear, with the smaller chain ring up front and a larger cog in the back, lets you accelerate faster. This helps you get started from a stop, or when you're climbing a steep hill.
What is the best gear ratio for speed?
In the real world, typical street machines with aspirations for good dragstrip performance generally run quickest with 4.10:1 gears. Lower gears are required if the car is very heavy, or if the engine makes its power at the upper end of the rpm scale.
How do you increase acceleration on a motorcycle?
A lighter exhaust system and the use of alloy wheels in place of spoke wheels can drastically improve the performance of your bike. Getting rid of the centre stand, saree guard, metal grab rails, leg guard, and a few other components can also save more than 5-6 kgs in the first attempt.
