CFMOTO 800MT Sprocket Performance Guide
Upgrading or replacing the cfmoto 800mt sprocket can dramatically enhance your motorcycle’s acceleration, top speed, and fuel efficiency. Whether you’re tackling off-road adventures or cruising on highways, understanding sprocket dynamics is key to optimizing your ride.
How Sprocket Ratios Affect Your Ride
Changing the tooth count on your front or rear sprocket alters the final drive ratio. A smaller front sprocket increases acceleration but reduces top speed, while a larger one does the opposite. For the CFMOTO 800MT, common upgrades include switching to a 15-tooth front sprocket for better low-end torque.
Material Choices: Steel vs. Aluminum
Steel sprockets offer superior durability and are ideal for long-distance touring. Aluminum variants are lighter, improving responsiveness but wearing faster. For balanced performance, many riders choose hardened steel sprockets with advanced coatings.
Step-by-Step Replacement Process
Replacing your sprocket requires basic tools and careful alignment. Always replace the chain and both sprockets simultaneously to prevent premature wear.
Tools You’ll Need
Gather a torque wrench, chain breaker, rear stand, and new sprocket set. Safety gear like gloves and eye protection is essential.
Installation Tips
Clean the sprocket carrier thoroughly before installation. Torque the rear sprocket bolts to manufacturer specifications (typically 65-85 Nm) and check chain tension after assembly.
