    Hey CalamityJ, thanks so much for this guide, it helped a lot! I swapped the front sprocket out on my TU250X today, and although the difference is subtle, I’m definitely happier with the gearing now.

    6.7% taller gearing. The stock TU250's gearing is too short for my liking. This brings the revs down (6.7%) at cruising speeds and makes 1st gear (6.7%) more useful. Many owners are going a step further and putting a smaller rear sprocket on the TU as well. Top speed is drag limited, rather than gear limited, and the torque curve of the TU is such that cruising speed isn't noticeably effected by the taller gearing. Being able to make a left turn into traffic without upshifting is a bonus.

    Did you post the video for the sprocket change? That would be great to see!

    How did you make the measuring stick with your maximum and minimum settings to avoid calculations? I would love to do this to my tux but I want to make sure the chain is tight enough. Thank you so much for posting such a helpful video!

    I've got a 520-15T on the Front and 41-520 on the Rear (sprockets of course)
    I am looking for a little more top end out of the bike. it's screaming around 65mph.
    my low end power is really good, but once i'm at around 100 km/h (60mph) in 5th gear the bike just struggles...it's an older TU250 so i'm trying to get that top end a lil but more....any help would be greatly appreciated

    Hey man, where did you pick up the sprocket from? I wanna do the same thing to my 2015 tu250 but I'm not quite sure where to start (yes i'm new to this kind of thing)

    • @CalamityJesus

      I ordered mine through a third party seller on Amazon. It's the JT Sprockets JTF434.16 Many retailers can order stuff from JT.

  • @nkhalmizahar
    @nkhalmizahar 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    for stock engine , don't go more than one tooth at the front.

    • @jerimymccray
      @jerimymccray 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I read that you can go + 2t in the front and -1t in the back. Is that not the case?

    • @nkhalmizahar
      @nkhalmizahar 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Jerimy McCray +2t increase from the front sprocket is equivalent to -6t from rear sprocket. that is a lot for stock engine.

    What's that app or mobile page that you're looking at at ~3:44 with the torque info?

    • @CalamityJesus
      @CalamityJesus  9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Tom Ulrich I was browsing www.ADVRider.com on mobile Safari on an iPhone 4.. most likely running iOS 5.x ADVRider used to have a TU250X thread with daily activity, and it is still a good source of information for beginners. The torque settings were simply transposed from the service manual to the forum by a user.
