The Story
Sprocket & Chain Matrix
Features
- American made heat treated sprockets, which will help with torque increases.
- 22 tooth 14% increase
Benefits
It’s common knowledge that engine upgrades like a cam, carburetor, or bigger cubes can increase torque to the rear wheel. But the easiest and most inexpensive way to increase torque to the rear wheel, with no sacrifice in dependability, is to change your primary gearing by changing the compensating sprocket.
Detail
Includes the sprocket only. You have a stock 1999 carbureted Road King. By going from a stock 25 to a BAKER 22 tooth compensating sprocket, the torque at the rear wheel will increase by 14%. This eliminates the overall drive ratio performance advantage of fuel injected Road Kings. Changing the primary drive ratio affects the overall torque multiplication to the rear wheel. Decreasing the number of teeth on the compensating sprocket increases torque to the rear wheel and improves acceleration and performance. The trade-off for this performance improvement is an increase in the highway cruising RPM with no transmission change. If a BAKER 6-speed transmission is installed along with a new compensating sprocket, the increase in performance will be realized along with a lower highway cruising RPM than with a stock 5-speed.
