Apollo 125 Supermoto Test Ride | New Sprocket Setup 50+ MPH

Last part of the street legal Apollo Build! Installed the Tusk street legal kit and got it registered! Put new wheels and tires on specifically for the street & Now we are dialing in the sprocket size to gain some top end speed for the road to keep up with traffic. Which I think this setup is perfect because I never really plan on going over 60MPH on this bike anyway and it still has some good power left! Also had to throw on a smaller front tire because the 120/70-14 Rubs, So I went with a 90/90-14 and it's Perfect!
Enjoy the video!

Hey man, just wanted to comment. I seen this bike driving down woodman, in Dayton Ohio. And it inspired me to build my own! I’m looking for one right now actually. I just thought it was crazy that when I looked up the process on KZbin it showed me the very bike I seen. I just moved here from Missouri too. Are you still happy with the bike?

[@KGRowlo]

That was me🤙I Love it for what it is! I wanted a grom, something to screw around town on and practice wheelies but I just didn’t want to pay the grom price😳its only downfall is top end power and top speed but that’s not what I got it for🤷‍♂️I gotta 450 supermoto for that😂Thanks for watching & welcome to Ohio🤙

I put a race performance exhaust and race performance carb with performance spark plug and coil i put a quick shifter in it, it goes so far around 45 mph but im gonna be putting a turbo for the bike in a while the this will go even faster im afraid that all that power from the turbo with destroy my dirt bike but i will see

[@tonymendoza9657]

What sprocket size you recommend i change to on front or rear or both? If i want to set up my same bike as urs for wheelies im about to upgrade chain so i thought ill consider changing sprocket too? Or should i just do chain and new carb only and should be fine?

[@KGRowlo]

If you just want the bike to do wheelies stock sprocket is fine👍but if you are trying to get some more top speed, then change up the front sprocket to a 16 or 17, it’s cheaper and easier to change out then the rear, New chain is a YES and so is the carb🤙

Yo can you teach me how to mount on the lights on with the battery

[@KGRowlo]

Yeah I made a video doing that

[@razy7609]

I don’t think I understand this sprocket change, wouldn’t changing the front sprocket to a larger tooth sprocket lower the top speed because the ratio between the front and rear would decrease towards a more torque heavy bias?

[@justinshields4216]

But increases low end torque. & helps with just popping it up without clutch help

[@911Salvage]

It's the opposite. Adding the number of teeth on the front sprocket or reducing the number of teeth on the rear sprocket lowers the ratio between the two sprockets, which reduces the torque transferred to the rear wheel but allows your bike to reach higher speeds at the same rpm and gear. Depending on how much power your bike has, it may or may not be able to reach higher top speed with significantly taller gearing (i.e. lower ratio).

[@morgplzmoreplz7109]

Could I run my stock back sprocket that comes with the Apollo with the new front sprocket you got ?

[@KGRowlo]

yeah!
