Hey guys could someone quikly explain to me aout sprockets? Which ones do what I know theyre for speed and torque?

Is it the more teeth the more torque or more speed?
Also what should I get to roll some good wheelies on but still have some speed like about 130ish?
(now that i think about it I dont even know how fast a F4Iwillgo someone shed some light on that plz?)

Thanks guys

every tooth of difference in the front is 10 mph from your top speed, decreasing will take off from your top speed, adding will add

every tooth of difference in the rear is about 3.5 mph form your top speed, ADDING will take off from your top speed, decreasing will add to it

so im -1 in the front and +4 in the back, i have hella torque, some people on here have +10 in the back or more but dont worry about that unless you wanna do slow wheelies and shit.

what i said above is just a ballpark figure, so dont hold me to it, but thats what ive always been told and thats what i go by, so figure that f4i tops out around 160, so -1, +4 would be subtracting 10, and then 14 from your top speed, which would put it down to about 135 or so, learn those wheelies on stock gearing, i changed mine wayyy too soon and it threw me off pretty bad

imo, learn on stock.

when you get a bigger sprocket it gets twitchy, stock is more forgiving.

you can still rock slow wheelies on stock gears.
