Get more torque out of your Africa Twin with a 44 Tooth Sprocket. SO MUCH BETTER!

- Get more torque out of your Africa Twin or any other motorcycle by going to a rear sprocket with more teeth. Your bike will pull harder through the gears and be more responsive, dirt and street. While at the same time barely raising the RPM's at all speeds. Its a win win.

Dude, the sound of that bike is insane. So aggressive. Love the build so far. So stoked you got your UA-cam inspiration back and are making videos again.
A breath of life in her! Always good when an upgrade creates a need for the next upgrade.
To all the people whining about speedo error, install a speedo healer. Problem solved! Thanks for the video
You'd really need to use a GPS speedometer to get the speeds because changing the sprocket will throw the speedometer off. That aside, loving this build. Really love seeing folks giving an older model a new life.
I added a tooth to the front. I spend a lot of time on the freeway and it has helped. If you need acceleration help go lower gearing, if you need to be less buzzy on the highway go the other direction (like me).
I took this advice, I have a 2023 model which had a 42 sprocket and changed it to a 45 performance increased to my satisfaction
Thanks, Vanilla Ice! You rock.
Nice job! I'm getting that sprocket for the AT. Wonder how well a 46 would work out? Waiting for the clutch replacment video...keep them coming
The 44 was a mild change but worth it. A 46 would be wild. Give it a shot. You can always shorten your new chain and drop to a 44. Keep me posted.
I enjoy your videos very much...keep on....
Those mitas i had before on tenere, a good rubber!
Great video Amerigo! How is called the chain link which doesnt need any special tool?
I mean here in Luxiland to change the chain is about 700euros pal
Rocks and roll 😎 stellar sounding bike and cool to hear what changing the sprocket can do! Thanks for sharing. P.S any chance you could tell me what mic and camera you used on this video as I want to capture my AT exhaust sound too?
Thanks for watching. I use the go pro hero 9 with a purple squid mic
Did you have any problem by converting the tyres tubeless or the 3m was just a precaution for the tube inside the tire? cheers
Great bike! i bought auxbeam from your other video :) now i'm changing the sprockets. Where did you get the sprocket, chain adjuster blocks, anodized nuts and the chains? thank you!
I think you need to factor in the Speedo error with the larger sprocket. I think you'll find Speedo 10% high
Short answer: with a moderate gearing change such as this, don't worry about it. Long answer: 16/42 to 16/44 is a roughly 5% increase in final drive ratio, causing the speedo to read 5% SLOWER than it did from the factory. Bearing in mind that speedos tend to read a few percent FAST from the factory, his speedo may technically be more accurate now. It might even still be 1 or 2% fast! Now just for fun, let's assume the speedo was dead-on from factory (again, this isn't the norm). It's now reading 5% SLOW, compared to real speed. At an indicated 65MPH, he's really going 68. At an indicated 95MPH, he's really going 100. Even the nastiest cop on his worst day will give you 5 over, if that's really all you're doing. In other words, this is highly unlikely to make the difference between you getting a ticket or not-even if it read 5% slow, and you had no idea, and trusted it.
The rpm comparison is not correct. You did not compensate the speedo error which could be somewhere in between 4-6%.
Did you keep the larger sprocket on?
Good stuff! 😎👍🏼👍🏼
Did you end up putting tubes back in the tyres, shame you couldn't spec them with tubeless.
Thank you
Reason your reading same rpm and speed is the speed pickup is on gearbox you was not doing 85 with the new sprocket you was doing 72mph I have this sprocket check with GPS speedo
Ferry good👍👍❤️❤️
Trying to buy the same sprocket but super lite website doesn’t work anymore?
How far off is your Speedo now? I’d like to do the same
That Africa Twin sounds great. What about the tires? Do you recommend them? I had on my ATAS the Mitas E10 but lasted about 4,000 kms.
It's too soon to tell but ive done a fair amount of aggressive street and dry hard pack dirt riding and they have been flawless. Quiet and smooth. Not too expensive. Good looking. Long lasting.
Hi there, thank you for the the great content that you have been sharing with your videos. I’ve been traveling in and off-road almost every weekend with out any modifications yet. I’m very interested in doing the “44 rear sprocket” that you did. And I would like to know how many miles average you can ride with your full fuel tank.
I did this to my 2016 MT several years back and get about 220 Mi per tank on average....Cheers .Ron.
@@ktmron72 Thanks for your answer
Where did you buy the chain tensioners ?
Good evening, if you don't know how to connect an ignition switch to a honda dominator 650, what wires do they connect to? That it has 4 wires coming out of the power switch, 2 from on and off 1 black and 1 white and 2 from the star button 1 yellow and 1 black
No idea. Reach out to Sparck moto
Has anyone tried this on a DCT
Hi Tim, have you found any more research on fitting a 44” tooth to the DCT?
Numb Nutz, your first run was 82mph @ 4800rpm then your second run you did at 85mph giving you also 4800rpm and you're confused, wtf dude?
Sounds like things have got mixed up
