No, Its not the guy from Saturday Night KIve. I have a question about sprockets. I will be using a motor that was built for power. It runs about 6,000 Rpm. What sprockets should I use on the motor and axle. I would like to wheelie, but dont need to burn the tires off. thanks.

Hey Frank,

What HP is the engine you are using?

With 6,000 RPM's, you could get some great speed out of a 40 tooth sprocket, but it also depends on the size of your engine. If you have at least 5HP the 40 tooth would be great. Otherwise try a 54 tooth.
