Sprocket for speed
 

im running a 16 tooth engine sprocket with 530 chain on a stock 150cc buggy..and the drive axle has a 33 tooth sprocket.can I change the drive spocket size to gain more speed? without losing power either way?.im ask because I have the axle off the buggy now

You might be able to change one tooth smaller without really sacrificing low end. If you gear too 'tall' for speed, you will be slipping the clutch and it will wear out a lot faster. How much speed are you looking for?

My recommendation is to change the sliders in your CVT, go with heavier sliders, that will engage at a lower engine RPM, resulting in increased top speed, but you will still lose some bottom end.

not much faster.what sliders are in a hammerhead 150cc stock CVT and what do u think I need go with on the weight factor of the sliders

Go with 11 gram sliders they're equivalent to a 9 gram rollers. You shouldn't lose any top end. I have 34 teeth sprocket and didn't lose any top end. And I have climbing power.

I might consider 12 or 13g sliders, if you truly want more top speed, but again, the low end will suffer.

I think ......14 gram rollers come stock.
