Blaster sprocket gearing!

[Scottt07]

I have a stock blaster I'm about to buy a new chain and sprockets off eBay.
I was noticing alot of people are using the 14/40 gearing.. Plus ive seen 13/40. I plan on getting a shearer pipe for it and that's about it for the moment..i do mostly trail riding.. Is the 14/40 better for the built engines?

A 14 tooth front sprocket will give you more top speed / more power on the high end of the RPM range. A smaller front sprocket will give you more power at the low end of the RPM range and less top speed. Stock gearing is 13/40. If you are looking for a good trail rider, (I'm assuming you are because you are getting a shearer pipe) Then stay with the 13 in the front.

i swapped from a 13/40 to a 14/40 and preferred it, blasters are geared low to start with so i went up to a 14 front, and thought it was better, it opened the gears up a little which is what i wanted best bet, get both and see what you prefer I:I

14/40 is a good al around combo

i switched to 14/40 and it made a awesome difference but it was still perfectly fine for woods riding which is where i spend alot of time

yea 14/40 is a good gear setup for trails

I think the 14/40 is good 4 all types of riding.. a lil more top end speed.. i personaly think 14/40 should've been the stock gearing.. but dont forget the rear tire size plays a big factor too.. if u have 18's i would say most def get the 14/40

i went 14/39 and love it, although i wouldn't recommend it for trails unless you have a fairly built motor.

What size rear's do you have? Tires play a big role in gearing.

14/39 with 20"s !!!!!

jus wonderin do u have 2 shave down the rear sprocket hub for the 39T rear sprocket 2 fit a run properly??

no i think you can put the 38 on it with no mods anythig bigger then 14/38 and you need to mod the case to fit the 15 or get the lonestar sprocket to run down to a 34 with honda sprockets..

20s for the blaster for trails... 18 inch fast trekkers on the 200x... trust me thats whats on mine

as stated ive got 18" kenda klaws with 14/40 gearing and its good

I have 18's on mine and i think they are itp holeshots. They suck cause you lose too much clearance under your skid plate. If i go to the woods and try crossing a creek, i always end up pushing it out, lol. I really think if you got 22's you would go to a 12 tooth sprocket. You have maximum clearance too. If you kept it at a 13 for the 22's you lose alot of torque! I had 22in. mudlites and it made my blaster fly when it finally got going but in the woods, i had to keep it in 1st and 2nd the whole time! But I'm just gonna get 20's and go up to a 14T sprocket. What you could do is get a 14T front and a 40T in the rear and then if you still dont have enough torque to dick around in, you could buy a 39 tooth rear. Most people in my mind get 14/40 gearing. There are some people with 14/39. It also depends on if your motor is stock, built, or race ready. Hope this helped!

i went with a 14/39 set up cause most run a 14/40 and ill have that little bit of top end on them.. lol
i agree the ground clearance sucks. and bigger tires does help. so gear down if you want bigger tires. its a balance you have to find.

 

[super noober]

im likeing a 14-40 setup with 20" tires seems to be a nice medium. i would like to give a 39 rear a try though.

There called itp holeshots for a reason. there for MX not trails so dont bash them because they are amazing for mx but i understand what ur saying because i have them on my 400ex, but a skid plate fixed that problem.

Yeah They are amazing on my track i made with our tractor. we got some doubles and table-tops and alot more other stuff..They are sweet there! When i bought my blaster they had them on there, i didn't really have a choice. lol
