What size sprocket is best for wheelies?

If your wanting to do long street wheelies, then a smaller 14t front sprocket and a little clutch dump will do the trick. IMHO , stunting slower stuff with bigger sprockets are A LOT safer than faster wheelies.

Can you wheelie a Harley with belt drive?

What does a bigger rear sprocket do on a motorcycle?

Installing a larger countershaft sprocket creates higher gearing, while a larger rear sprocket lowers gearing. Similarly, a smaller front sprocket lowers the gearing while a smaller rear sprocket makes gearing higher.

What does more teeth on rear sprocket do?

Substituting a larger front or smaller rear sprocket lowers the ratio (sometimes called “taller” gearing), resulting in more speed for a given engine rpm. Likewise, a smaller front or larger rear sprocket gives less speed for a given rpm (“shorter” gearing).

Is a bigger sprocket better for wheelies?

Although the sprocket will make the front end come up with less effort, the bike has plenty of power and torque to wheelie for miles. once you’re at the balance point, power has nothing to do with it. All the sprocket will do for you is make you hit the rev limiter faster and throw your spedo off.

Can you wheelie a belt driven bike?
