Where can I get a new sprocket?

I know that many of you guys have smaller sprockets for higher speeds. Where can I get one? The stock sprocket that came with my kit makes me cruise comfortably at about 20mph, and I'd like to make that 30mph. I don't want to be revving so high that I go deaf at 30mph!

Hi Mike,

You might try this guy:

Livefast Motors: Bike Motors - Accessories

His prices are reasonable and they include shipping. 36 tooth are a little harder to find and cost more. I got mine from here:

Good luck!

I got a Livefast 40t to replace the stock one on my BoyGoFast kit, and they're the bee's knees! It has just enough speed to get me to a comfortable cruising speed, where the stock 50t would have the engine revving worrisomely. I don't think it quite gets to thirty, but it's fast enough that I don't go WOT all the time. I got it from their ebay store, where it is bundled with a new chain and U-style motor mounting bracket, which will be handy for spare parts, say if I lose a masterlink, all for $28 shipped. A single 36t cost more than that! It's good deal, I'd say.

thatsdax, or ebay ID dacscommm.

Some have made their own using the sprocket from a front chainring.

I have a question about that front chain ring as a sprocket. First of all does the sprocket inside the engine work with a bike chain, as well as the 415.... Then where does one get the fiber gaskets for the sprocket. And the curved plates for the back side of the sprocket. In other words the mounting kit less the sprocket.

In my opinion Andyincville makes an excellent sprocket. He's one of our members. I run one of his 32T sprockets and am very pleased.MySpace.com - Kings Sales & Service Group - 36 - Male - CHARLOTTESVILLE, Virginia - www.myspace.com/kingssalesandservice

He never did quote me a price, so I got one from dax.

You can slim the teeth down, or get a sprocket for the countershaft from dax.

If you already have the 44T on your bike, that's where the mounting rubbers/ect come from. Use the old sprocket to make a drilling pattern.

Almost free!

Im getting ready to do a second bike this spring. I thought I might go with a good stainless bike chain for a drive and use a chain ring for the rear sprocket... Just to be different.

What size sprocket do I need to comfortably cruise at 30mph? And how fast would I have to get going in order to release the clutch with such a sprocket? And would such a sprocket still let me get up a steep hill with ease? (I've got an 80cc)
