Changing the front sprocket allows you to make a big difference to the gearing of the bike while still allowing a stock look and if you do change the rear sprocket then the front can help to fine tune the gearing that you want.

@KaRim-es9xx 3 года назад

Hi David, thanks for all your tutorial videos !!!! On the Duke 125cc have you ever tried the 15 front sprocket,. I tried the 13, but didn’t like it.

@MotoMirius 3 года назад

I've not tried the 13. I'm not so sure if its not too small given the clearance on the swinging arm. As to whether it does what you want, some testing has shown that the 48 rear or 13 front can improve acceleration and top speed on the 125, but it's always about what works for you - I tend not to use gearing most people use on these because it's not my only bike so I'm not looking for top speed or long distances on the motorway. I suspect a 15 on the 125 will kill the acceleration and may reduce top speed because you may only be able to get into top gear going downhill - but there is only one way to find out!

@tinks43 3 года назад

Well explained mate, simple stuff. I hope it has done as you intended? 👍🏻

@MotoMirius 3 года назад

@nathanfenech9018 3 года назад

Nice job mate. I had a question about my 2018 duke 390 . It turns off (stalls, ignition stays on), when it turns on on cold start. It seems to happen less often when it's warmed up. Not sure if it has anything to do with the debaffle I did. I'm asking as I'll be getting an SC project soon, and was worrying it might make this worse. Thanks in advance!

@MotoMirius 3 года назад

Thanks. Possibly related but sometimes can happen with cold start (when it's cold), assuming of course that you are not touching the throttle too soon as that will always kill it. If you are getting an SC then I'm assuming you already have or will have a piggyback on the way which will cure any issues you might have with the changes needed for fuelling. Skäl David

@manugrend 4 месяца назад

Just found your channel and have watched at least three vidoes in a row! So well done and explained, you really help us "novice" ppl become more comfortable with doing maintenance on our bikes. I've been thinking about chainging the chain and sprockets myself, but I'm stuck on the rivetting of the chain part, I don't have the tool for it. I noticed on your bike you're using the "clip on" chain link. Is this because you use the motorcycle only for stunts or would this type of link be suitable for normal road use? If not what tool method would you suggest for linking the chain. Txs!

@MotoMirius 4 месяца назад

Thanks, much appreciated. Typically I would use a riveted link for chain but with small capacity bikes you can get away with the clip link - I wouldn't outright recommend it with the 390 because it does have a bit more power, I use it because I do change sprockets etc for videos and it avoids buying new rivet links all the time which don't match the wear on the chain. I would recommend that you invest in the rivet tool - it is a once in a lifetime purchase and you will recover your money the first time you don't pay someone to fit the chai. The tool you need is - www.didchain.com/products/km500r-chain-tool Don't buy a copy or anything else. For a video on how to use the tool - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NNNwpNY7c_0.htmlsi=EXkxKVAOZV6LAjsJ - I must make a video on using this tool properly too!

@Funny_as_Duck 3 года назад

What is your recommendation on new tires? I want grip more than longevity. But if there’s best of both worlds that would be nice. People say the Michelin street pilots slip and I don’t want to ever slip lol

@MotoMirius 3 года назад

For every tyre there are people who claim it's the best tyre ever made and people who claim it's the worst tyre ever made. Internet rumours are also not to be trusted no matter how often you hear people repeat them. I heard many times for example that the stock Metzeler were terrible and slipped yet mine never did. One thing to bear in mind is that this is a bike often ridden by novice riders who for example don't check their tyre pressures, attribute their own poor riding skills to faults in the bike or fit tyres not recommended for the bike. My recommendation is to go for a reputable brand and go with what that brand recommends fits this bike - most have websites not something you've seen somewhere on the internet - Michelin for example recommend the Pilot Power, a sports tyre not the Street Pilot. Most of the tyres made that fit this bike are grip oriented rather than longevity as most of the wheels this size are found on sports type bikes.

@snopdogg92 Год назад

Can we replace 14 teeth front sprocket, the stock sprocket is 15 teeth, will be there any effect by doing this.

@MotoMirius Год назад

Yes, you can and I have. Of course there will be an effect - you have changed the gearing. It is the same as going to a 48 tooth rear.

@ricardopinto1765 3 месяца назад

Hello Mirius once again... What are the gain's on this change? More specific do you get more torque? Better acellaration if needed 😅. Sorry to asked 😅😮

@MotoMirius 3 месяца назад

Well it depends what change you make. The effect is the same as changing the rear sprocket (but remember that the effect is reversed - so a smaller front sprocket is the same as a larger rear). Generally I don't use smaller front sprocket - but the 125 has a smaller so 1 tooth down is probably OK. Risk of a smaller sprocket is that it will increase wear on the rubber slider and risk cutting into the swinging arm. So, there is no simple answer to your question because we are looking at a small capacity bike. Typically a larger rear/ smaller front will increase torque sightly which can increase acceleration and sometimes top speed, but can also increase fuel consumption. In theory a smaller rear sprocket will increase top speed but won't always - much depends on for example how much the rider weighs.

@juanposada9319 2 месяца назад

So David, if going from 15 to 14, will this make the bike accelerate faster and lose a bit of top end?

@MotoMirius 2 месяца назад

It is the equivalent of putting a bigger sprocket on the back so yes. But, although it will accelerate faster, you will go through the gears quicker, and gear changing interrupts acceleration, so it depends exactly how you intend using it. Testing on the RC by Grey Area KTM showed fastest 0 - 60 was with stock gearing.

@Brownkid422 9 месяцев назад

So am i reading the comments correctly: with a 14 tooth front AND a 48 tooth rear on at the same time you top out around 75 mph? How is the 14/48 for stunting vs 15/48?

@MotoMirius 9 месяцев назад

Depends on the sort of stunting you are aiming to do - if you are looking at more technical close quarter stunts then speed is not relevant - much like trials riding - you never ride a trials bike at 75, so who cares? 15 48 is a good compromise for general riding and stunts, doesn't have too much impact on top speed but is more responsive to the throttle than stock 15 45.

@prashantambhore5775 8 месяцев назад

Hi David hope you’re doing great. I have two questions please answer. 1) On my 125Duke should i drop one tooth or increase the teeth on rear sprocket? (I am looking for faster initial acceleration and wouldn’t mind sacrificing top speed as i rarely hit highways and mainly have spins around the town) 2) I am inclined towards dropping one tooth on front (easier and cheaper) so would it work with the stock rear sprocket and stock chain?

@MotoMirius 8 месяцев назад

Hi, I'm good thanks and hope you are too. Sounds like you have the right idea and yes I would agree with 2 and there would be no issues with stock sprocket and chain. But, the 125 already runs a 14 on the front if I recall correctly and a 13 creates a much tighter turn for the chain which may increase wear. You would also be advised to keep a close eye on the rubber chain slider at the engine end of the swinging arm because with a small front sprocket the the chain will wear it out quicker and can then cut into the swinging arm.

@prashantambhore5775 8 месяцев назад

@@MotoMirius thanks for the valuable input. One more question if i go ahead with the smaller front sprocket and it somehow happen to wear out swing arm rubber chain slider would it be replaceable or i am in a trouble? (I am totally noob)

@MotoMirius 8 месяцев назад

The slider is replaceable and not expensive in itself. But you do need to keep an eye on it otherwise you could need a new swinging arm. Unless you have a new chain and sprocket fitted on the bike, then long term you would be better with say a 45 tooth sprocket on the back.@@prashantambhore5775

Does 16 teeth sprocket fits 125? Or 15 is max for 125?

@MotoMirius 2 года назад

125 uses different front sprockets from 390 but you can get different sizes - they can be hard to find in stock - they are made in small batches, so it's hard to say if you can find one. If you can find a 16 then you may need to remove the chainguard.

@faiyazrain786 3 года назад

Will it be a good idea if i change stock 14t front sprocket to 15 on duke 250...will it affect acceleration??

@MotoMirius 3 года назад

It depends what your idea is. Yes, it will affect acceleration, but there are no simple answers because it depends what you are looking to do. With a small bike you can't believe the gearing charts you see online - they assume unlimited power. A 15 may make a 250 slower because it lacks the torque to overcome wind resistance at high speed. It will allow you to cruise at lower revs but may mean changing gear earlier on steep hills. There is no one simple answer - the best gearing depends how and where you ride, and the only way to discover this is to try it.

@kodyyouso264 2 года назад

I’m running a 2021 KTM Duke 390 myself…although I’m having an extremely difficult time locating a 14T front or 48T rear sprocket for this bike here in the US. Any chance you could point me in the right direction so I can get a new set of sprockets ordered? Either looking to run 15/48 or 14/45. I’ve only got about 750 miles on the bike but I’d prefer to replace both sprockets and chain to give a bit more low end torque. Thanks in advance and great videos truly!

Try not searching for a 2021 as most manufacturers probably haven’t had chance to check if the new model runs the same chainset. But the BS6 was actually launched in some markets in 2020.
