Yamaha TRX850 Enthusiasts Forum

Took my TRX recently restored for its first test ride to-day and all went well but I found it to be very highly geared. My question is does anybody know what the perfect sprocket size would be to stop the snatch between gears. Thanks. Kenbev.

Hi kenbev!

Not really sure what you mean with "snatch" ...

For me and many others a shorter gearing of 17 / 42 (39 is the original at the rear) is good for compensating the long first gear.

Shortened greets from Munich!

Thanks for the reply. Long time since I have ridden a TRX and had forgotten about the long first gear. I have a 42 tooth rear sprocket to try and see if that makes it a bit better. Thanks and keep well. Kenbev.
