Has any one fitted an extra tooth engine sprocket to the Himalayan?
if YES, what was the result? pro's v con's please, am thinking of fitting on to a 2021 euro5 model. Thanks, Guru

A lot of folk fit the one tooth up front sprocket - personally I found it a bridge too far, seemed ok at first but the top gear struggles now on slight uphill sections, its a bit tight on the stock chain as well.

Did it on mine - 2019 model, seems to be ok.

No noticeable change in performance, just feels a bit less stressed when cruising.

Each to his own I guess.

Put a 16 tooth sprocket on my 2019 Himmi and very pleased with result runs along at 70 mph at 5000 revs in 5 th gear and should it struggle up hill will do 70 mph in 4th gear, if you do mostly road work then recommended, but you will maybe need extra link in chain.

Thanks, for your feedback on engine sprocket, much appreciated.
