I run standard rear 54 i think of the top of my head, makes a huge difference
standard rear is 47.
I like a steel rear sprocket; a bit heavier but they last for ages unlike aluminium. I use a 49 which lowers the gearing a bit.
I would also recommend sticking to a genuine bmw/rotax front sprocket. Many aftermarket sprockets seem to be a slightly looser fit on the output shaft allowing the sprocket the rock backwards and forwards which will eventually destroy the splines on the shaft. No idea whether the Talon sprockets have this issue but the cost difference is minimal compared to the cost of stripping the engine to replace the shaft.

dirt tricks / ironman 47 tooth, lightest steel one you can get, lasts ages, looks fantastic, walter has over 20,000km on his but costs about £100, you can now get them from adventure spec rather than direct from the states which is what i did
:your right 47
Demon Tweeks, speak to Neil Riddle as he has supplied AFAM rear sprockets to me.
Again, fronts are cheap enough from Talon Engineering.

Just ordered up the following from Talon.
15 tooth front, steel, £8.95 plus vat
49 tooth rear, steel, £25.47 plus vat (they also have the OE 47 tooth avail in steel)
Basically, I wanted steel on both and was struggling to find steel rears.

when you bumped in to us yesterday i had the 13-49 first time on interesting and weill take some getting used to
I'll call you shortly as couldn't stop yesterday. You've got a 14% reduction in gearing on the front and 4% or so on the rear which equates to a >18% change on an already torquey engine.
Good on slow stuff but wheelspins and wheelies by any chance
