Great vid
Very helpful video. Doing my chain and sprokets in a couple of weeks and
was wondering how much I’d have to remove. Thanks =]
I have gone down to 14 tooth front and up by one tooth to 46 rear. This is
equivalent to goin up 5 teeth on the rear without reducing the front
sprocket. If you take the five extra teeth on the rear option you get
clearance problems with the chain. This mod gives you a lot more
acceleration and wheelie power as well as a big improvement in mid range
hence more torque and flexibility. The slight loss in top end is not worth
worrying about when you have a 140 – 150 mph capability.Hope this helps.
150mph on a bandit? Good luck.
how did this affect top end? much loss?
you do know that useinga torque wrench to undo bolts will brake your wrench
and un calibrate it
Excellent video Johnlp from the forum 🙂
Lock tight?
Careful loosening things with that torque wrench. You will lose the
calibration.
awesome vid once again rich. saving this for when i come to do it 😉
After talking with my mechanic I went the same way you did here. Actually
even bought almost the same sprocket, only difference is mine has the
weight reduction drill holes. Still, so awesome, can’t wait to ride it more
now. Bandit 600 never felt so fast. Thanks for the video
yea you will probably go 15 kph slower when you go top speed but it makes
pulling away from stop signs and red lights a hell of a lot funner! who
cares about top end anyway.
Great video, so good infact that I’ve actually subscribed to your channel.
Did the 14 tooth sprocket liven the Bandit up a bit?
Smaller front sprocket = more acceleration
gr8t vid buddy. fitted one the other day, much better
Thank’s for the informative Video, helps me a lot i’ve got to do mine on my
97 1200cc Bandit, Pictures say a thousand words, Video even better.
@pombearshadwell thanks mate
One hand mechanic 😉
Nice job man. I’m riding a bandit 600 and was thinking about going with 5
more teeth in the rear sprocket but not really looking for a stunt bike
just more a streetfighter. Should I up the reaer sprocket or lower the
front like you did? Also how much would you suggest for just under a
stunter kinda feel? the gears are factory now 47/15. I don’t want to
wheelie all over the place but want to be able to if the situation calls
for it. Lmao.
does it make bike quicker mine needs to be done ive got 16 teeth is that
normal
My 2000 Bandit 1200S [stock] is 15 (front) / 45 (rear). For every +1 added
on the front it simulates +4 on the rear. As far as I know the max for the
front sprocket on the Bandit goes as high as 18. Adding teeth to your
sprockets will make your gears taller while sacrificing power/torque (which
the bandit 1200 has plenty to spare). Dropping teeth shortens the gears and
you then sacrifice top speed and have to shift earlier as the rev will now
be higher at a lower speed than stock. 🙂
I read recently stunters add 5 teeth in the rear sprocket and lose about
10% off top end. Not sure how accurate that is but I wouldn’t care cause I
just street ride. I haven’t even seen my max on top end once.
what is the Best type Of chain to pick Up as a replacement ?
Good post ‘Gareth Griffiths’! I was curious about at-what-point the
clearance started to become a factor. With that mod his bike is now at -3
from stock. 14/46 = -1 front [-4 simulated] +1 rear [+1 simulated] = -3
total [is -4 +1]. I bet that beast rides the rear wheel comfortably easy
now without needing to slip the clutch. 🙂
Great video btw BanditMan!
nice vid I might do it with my bandit I need to do the cain too
Slightly more believable but still unlikely without some heavy
modifications. Be sure to account for a 7-9% error on your speedo too.
The smaller the front the better top speed bit less acceleration the bigger
the sprocket on the back less top end but faster acceleration hope this
helps 🙂
@grinreaper07 acceleration was improved and the front would lift nicely
Rear axle nut is 22mm btw (:
Been there +some, on my 1200 Bandit that is.
