i just got a 51 teeth rear sprocket and it has more holes then what my 99 f4 has, does it matter, or is it just a universal sprocket

@R3l3ntl3ss89 As long as the holes line up then yes, you can use it. Make sure the pitch is correct as well.

AH!!!!!!! that plastic crunchy noise!!! LoL

When tightening and torquing the nuts on the sprocket. shouldn't you gradually tighten and torque them in a star pattern to avoid warping the sprocket?

great vid btw :) thx

@hxccalinip Yup, I did that.

hi would like to ask some tips,, what is the right engine sprocket for low speed ride, a 14 teeth or 16?

@DarkFlight600 1. I could do +2 in the rear but front sprockets cost a lot less than rears.

2. It's not really "bad" but if you make a drastic change, you'll just be cruising at a much higher rpm on the highway. It'll take away from the fuel economy.

3. Very minimal. The norm most ppl do is -1 front +2 rear which is fine and you won't notice any accelerated wear.

4. Lithium grease is better cuz it lasts longer. I didn't use it on the axle cuz it doesn't move. doens't hurt to use it there tho.
