SPROCKET MATH
There are only two basic equations for sprocket math: calculating the sprocket drive ratio and
calculating the percentage change in sprocket ratios.
Calculating the sprocket drive ratio:

(Rear tooth count) / (front tooth count) = drive ratio

Example 1:
Bike ships stock with 47 tooth rear sprocket, 15 tooth front sprocket.
47 / 15 = 3.13333
So 3.13333 is the stock sprocket ratio.

Example 2:
You buy a 50 tooth rear sprocket and a 15 tooth front sprocket for the above bike.
50 / 15 = 3.33333
So 3.33333 is the new sprocket ratio.
Calculating the percentage change in sprocket ratios:

((new ratio / old Ratio) - 1) * 100 = change as a percentage.
NOTE: Positive percentages indicate higher gearing ratios, negative numbers mean lower gearing ratios

Example (using the numbers from the first set of equations):
Motorcycle had a 3.1333 sprocket ratio,
cycle will now have a 3.3333 sprocket ratio

((3.3333 / 3.1333) - 1) * 100) =
((1.0638) - 1) * 100) =
(.0638) * 100) = 6.38% change
Combining the equations (if you'd want to for some reason):

(( (NewRear/NewFront) / (OldRear/OldFront) ) - 1) * 100 = % change.

Example (using the same numbers as from the sprocket drive ratio examples):
(( (50 / 15) / (47 / 15) ) - 1) * 100 =
(( 3.3333 / 3.1333 ) - 1 ) * 100 =
(1.0638 - 1) * 100 =
(0.0638) * 100 = 6.38
Thus, changing from 47 to 50 tooth rear with a 15 tooth front is a 6.38% change.

IMPORTANT SPECIAL NOTES:

 The Percentage change is the increase or decrease in available torque compared to stock. It is
also the percentage that your RPM's will increase/decrease for any given steady speed (i.e. - if
stock is 5000 RPM at 67 MPH, a 10% change will make the RPMs 5500 at 67 MPH.
Additionally, if your bike reads the speed off the front sprocket, your speedo will be off by this
amount as well. There are two products on the market to that I know of correct for this
inaccuracy: the SpeedoHealer and the YellowBox.

 By altering the sprocket ratios to a positive percentage change, you are trading some effective
top-end HP for effective low-end torque. Torque primarily affects acceleration between 0 and
about 65 mph, while effective HP affects primarily speeds above 65 (especially top speed), and
the ability to counteract wind resistance. If your bike can reach speeds above 100 MPH, expect a
12% - 15% change to cut around 15 - 20 MPH off your top speed, because that HP you've traded
is critical to overcoming the wind resistance at high speeds. Also expect seriously degraded fuel-
mileage as a result of the trade-off.

 By altering the sprocket ratios to a negative percentage change, you are trading some effective
torque for increased effective HP, but this is likely to only alter your gas mileage at steady
cruising speeds, not increase your top speed, as the actual total HP for the bike has not increased.
The primary reason for going with a negative percentage change is to reduce the RPM's required
to cruise at whatever standard cruising speed you ride at if you do a lot of long-haul touring or
commuting (e.g. - getting you out of a zone of vibration if you happen to normally cruise right at
the same RPM that the bike vibrates the most).

 Large percentage (more than 8% or so) changes in either direction (from stock) can produce
undesirable results.
- Large positive percentage changes can cut your top speed significantly, reduce your effective
traction under high throttle applications, and may cause the front end to become light or wheelie
in response to the increase in torque.
- Large negative percentage changes can actually increase your gas mileage if you are not
cruising steady (as you try to compensate for sluggish performance by giving it more gas during
acceleration), and will reduce your rate of acceleration (including out of a dangerous situations).

 Changes under 3% from the current ratio are not likely to be noticed by the rider.

 Whenever feasible to obtain a specific ratio, avoid using a smaller than stock front sprocket. The
smaller sprocket requires the links of the chain to turn a tighter radius, which increases friction
and decreases the life expectancy of the chain (by decreasing the life-expectancy of the o-ring
seals of the chain).

 Adding sprockets with additional teeth will require a chain with a higher link count to
compensate for the longer path the chain now needs to take. Using sprockets with fewer teeth
will require a chain with less links to cover the same adjustment range.

 Unless you very recently replaced your chain, always replace chains when replacing sprockets
(and visa-versa). The two surfaces are designed to mate and wear together (the sprocket-
tooth/chain-roller interface) and use of a new sprocket with a worn chain can quickly ruin the
sprocket... similarly, use of a worn sprocket with a new chain will quickly ruin the chain.
