Front Sprocket Question
Looking to go from a 13 tooth to 17 tooth on a 520 chain.
Are there any reliable or preferred vendors to buy from? New to the forum and new owner so just trying to figure out best options. |

That's a pretty big jump. If you haven't already, check to see if there is room in the front sprocket area to fit a 17 tooth. Both at the front but also at the rear, near the swingarm.
More typically you can go up a tooth or two. You might have to do a combination of larger front and smaller rear to get the ratio you want.

More than likely a 14 tooth will be the largest that will fit.
