Hello, thank you for this nice video. I tried the 14 tooth sprocket in front on my Dax. My speedometer was way off, so I used GPS, just as you do. I did not gain any top speed at all, I just kept hitting the rev limiter at about 62 mph. With the 15 tooth sprocket in front, my Dax will reach 61 mph on the straight road, but if I tuck on a downhill, I can reach between 70 to 73 mph which was impossible with the 14th sprocket. Also, I felt that the it was going with too many revs all the time. I actually tested the acceleration of the Dax with the 14 tooth sprocket from 0 to 60. And then I made another test with the acceleration of the Dax with the 15 tooth sprocket from 0 to 60 with the 15th bracket, and with the 15, it was one second faster, on same road, same day, same weather conditions etc.. go figure.😅
Yeh, i plan to share different gearing combos as I start to install power upgrades. I’m not going to go crazy on this build, but would like to easily get to a 70mph top speed without tuck.
@ i have switched the air filter to a DNA open air.. but it was too loud so I mounted a breathable cover on top of it.. it adds a bit of power in acceleration but not really in top speed. I really like the yoshimura exhaust but I think its too loud - however a good old combination of air intake, exhaust and ecu flashing would probably add a couple of hp..
This was interesting….. a bit less than expected but still an improvement. Can’t help but wonder what keeping the stock rear and going one tooth off in the front would have yielded. I may try that and just paint the rear one black.

Leaving the stock driven sprocket and going one tooth less on the counter-shaft sprocket was mentioned at the end of the video… (@4:23)
Really think you need to install an aRacer. This way you can bump up the rev limiter and be ready for all the other engine mods.
Need a video on them bars, want them on my 19’ 😅
You want the wrong way for top speed.u get top speed from bigger engine gear, smaller rear gear or taller tire
Not if the engine doesn’t have power to spin a taller gear. Going taller at this point would have brought down top speed.
A lower gear will allow it to rev just a little more in 4h so it will let it go a little faster in the end.
If you listened to what he was explaining, he wanted to achieve greater RPM to take advantage of the full rated horsepower of the engine.
