Last week I swapped out the stock 41-tooth rear sprocket on my Honda CB500X for a new 39-tooth replacement.
Several years ago, I had swapped my front drive sprocket from the stock 15-tooth to a 16-tooth. That upgrade gave me a 6.25% reduction in RPM, expanding the gearing ratio, and reducing vibrations on the highway. I really enjoyed the upgrade! However, I also lost some of the slow-speed maneuverability while riding off-road.
This year I decided to return the front drive sprocket to a 15T, but swap out the 41T rear sprocket for a 39T. This gave me a 2.5% reduction in RPM which was great for the highway, while retaining all the off-road capabilities of this small adventure bike. I couldn't been happier!
Check out the video I made on the project. Discover the improvements I found it made to my machine. Then follow along and learn how to do the upgrade on YOUR bike...
