What is the ideal sprocket combination for Yamaha TY 175, just removed a 60 rear fitted a 51. I have just got a 13 front 51 rear from Talon, so I left the old 13 front on for now. Is the 13x51 the most common combination?

Hello Mike,

13/51 is standard for TY's when sold new, best combo is 11/51 but you

can get away with 12/51.

see you on Sunday!

The 51T rear will be fine but I suggest using a 12T front. Using 51/13 means that second is a bit too fast for most competition sections and first is a bit too fast for extremely tight stuff but OK for most sections.

Using 51/12 is better for competition because it allows the choice of using first or second gears in sections and makes first nice and slow. The penalty is that a TY175 with 51/12 gearing will only do about 50-60km/h flat out so might be a little slow if you do much trail riding.

Thanks guys I have fitted a 11 front which I've just taken off my Scorpa SY175F changed to 10 front. So will try the 11x51 combo see how it goes
