Front sprocket 14T prob.

Hi guys, I recently made a lot of changes into my hyper all in once. One of them was to change the front sprocket from 15teeth to 14 teeth as it supposed to add low end agression.

I am not an expert on bikes I have to admit it. I also changed the rear sprocket from stock to a dp ergal. Now, after driving it I feel no added agression whatsoever!!!

A friend of mine has made the same change and it feels total different. Is there anyway that the mechanic actually did not make the change???

If so, is there any way to test this without striping down the necessary parts to findout??

TIA
George

It's pretty easy to remove the sprocket cover, and a couple other parts so you can just count the teeth.

It's not going to make a huge difference overall, but you should notice it's easier to lug the engine at slow speeds in 2nd gear with the 14T sprocket...

Yep... you should definitely notice a difference... not to mention how much quicker you'll have to be shifting.
