Does a smaller sprocket make a pocketbike go faster?
yes and a smaller sprocket will give you a faster start up and larger sprocket will give you a higher top speed as long as your taking about the back sprocket other wise its flipped around.
Will a bigger sprocket on the front give you more acceleration?
The key to better acceleration or higher top speed is ratios, but if you change to a smaller sprocket at both ends the changes will cancel each other out and leave you pretty much where you started. If you want faster acceleration go for a smaller front or for a bigger rear.
What happens when you have a small sprocket?
First you need to be clear about what you're talking about.In regular Bike-speak, sprockets go at the rear, and chainrings/chainwheels go at the front.In BMX-speak, a sprocket goes at the front, and a driver goes at the rear.If you're speaking BMX, the most obvious difference is the size, the tooth count.For the same size driver, a bigger sprocket will make the bike slower off the start, but give it a higher top speed.For the same size driver, a smaller sprocket will make the bike quicker off the start, but give it a lower top speed.If you change the driver to match, start and top speed will remain the same, even with a smaller/bigger sprocket. A small sprocket will increase the ground clearance. Better if you're riding ramps as there's less risk of the sprocket/chain hitting the lip as you drop in. If you're not riding ramps, well, a smaller sprocket is still lighter, which is a kinda-sorta advantage. The downside is that the smaller they get, the faster they wear. And the chain wears too.
How do you make a bmx bike?
Depends on what's holding it back. Humans, like all engines, can only turn the pedals with a certain amount of force and at a certain speed. If you feel you have power left, but can't spin the pedals any faster, then a bigger sprocket(by the pedals), or a smaller driver (at the rear wheel) will give you more top speed. But you'll need to push harder to get the bike going. If you have spin left, but not more power, then going to a smaller sprocket or a bigger driver might give you more top speed. It'll make it easier to get the bike going too.
What is the top speed on a Yamaha pw80?
41-42 miles per hour. Give or take the richness of the fuel, but I recommend removing the restrictor plate if you are a bigger rider/want a higher top speed.
Is it better to have a smaller sprocket on a BMX bike?

The downside is that the smaller they get, the faster they wear. And the chain wears too.Changing to a smaller sprocket on the rear will make your bike heavier to pedal. If you're strong enough to keep cranking at the same speed as before, then your bike will be faster.
What is the difference between a smaller front ring and a bigger front ring on a bmx bike?
A bigger front ring will take more strength to turn, but if you are strong enough it will give a greater top speed for the same rate of turn of the pedals than what a smaller ring would. Going to fewer teeth on the rear sprocket will do the same thing.
Top speed of a ktm 200?
I have a 52 tooth back sprocket on mine to give it more take off and it can still do about 90 km/h max
What combination of gears are easiest to pedal?
The one that lets you turn the pedals with the least resistance is where you have a small sprocket by the bedals and a big sprocket by the rear wheel. But you might actually find the bike difficult to ride in this situation, as it might not give you enough speed to balance properly.
Sprocket to make motorcycle faster?
2 up in the back 1 down in the front, will give a better race time, faster acceleration, but take a little off top speed
What chainwheel size do 8 tooth drivers fit?
22 or 23 tooth sprocket will work. 23 will give you more top end speed for cranking at those huge gaps, while 22 will give you easier acceleration.
