TE510 Gearing

By simon, 20 April, 2005
Bike type
2005 Husqvarna TE510

After Pauls Ride, I decided that the TE could handle being geared a little higher, which would also make it work less at cruising speed.

It comes standard with a 14 tooth front sprocket, and a 50 tooth rear. On purchase i'd got the 14 replaced with a 15, as I'd already heard that it was geared low.

On thumpertalk, some guys have gone to a 16 tooth front, but it can hit the shifter on downshifts.

So I decided to go down to a 46 tooth on the rear, moving the rear wheel back about 1.5-2cm, but not enough to have to break the chain.

Well, I installed the new sprocket last weekend, ready for a ride this (long) weekend. A quick ride test showed it has had exactly the effect I wanted for trail cruising. It will be interesting to see how it goes in the sand this weekend.

For sprocket/gear ratios, we've got some info here http://www.dirtbike.ws/node/4681
