Sprocket size to the 990adv 07 - Page 2

Groundhog · 07-14-2012, 04:57 PM

Just had to replace my chain & sprockets (had 16/42 and stayed that way). If you want a damped 16T sprocket get the one for the newer models (16T for the 07 is not damped). Part #60033129016

Don't have any idea what the difference it makes, but that's what I got.

I just went to 16/44 and really like it.

So what's the benefit of changing the sprocket sizes? I've read that people like the 16T/45T arrangement for off-road but what does that mean? Do you have higher torque in first gear or what?

Lower gearing all the way around,much more off-road friendly.

You dont have a pic of a Damped one do you?
Interested to know if it helps reduce the vibes a bit.
Cheers.

Here is a picture of damped sprocket.

It has rubber disks on both sides of the sprocket and damping is only for the noise generated by chain, doesn't help a bit with vibrations.
