Powersports Sprockets

The majority of UTVs and ATVs utilize chains and sprockets to deliver engine power to the drive wheels. The smaller front sprocket is connected to the transmission’s output shaft. The rotation is delivered through a chain to the rear axle where the larger sprocket sits. Most of the time, these sprockets and chain are exposed to the elements, mud, sand, and dust, which leads to the need for frequent maintenance. It is highly recommended to clean and lubricate your chain and sprockets with specific products every time you wash your machine after the day of riding or working on your property.

The chain wears out relatively fast, stretches, and loses the initial tension, but it can be easily adjusted, and a broken chain can be quickly repaired. By replacing front and rear sprockets, you can effectively manipulate your machine’s gear ratio. It all depends on your driving style and the environment in which you use your vehicle. For example, racing enthusiasts who tend to drive their quads or side-by-sides through the desert can install larger front sprockets with more teeth and smaller rear sprockets with fewer teeth, which is perfect for high-speed, long-distance driving. Note that such a modification results in slower acceleration.

If you like to climb steep slopes, rocks, logs, cross rivers and mud pits, consider installing a smaller front sprocket and larger rear sprocket for faster acceleration. Every time you replace one or both sprockets featuring a different number of teeth, the length of your chain changes, so you need to add or remove several links to tighten your chain.
