15/43 is the way to go. I'd have to check my records for a sprocket part number but that's the ratio you want for just about any kind of riding on a Skorpion.

Id like to know the part numbers for these sprockets if you find them. My skorpion is running 15/38 sprockets right now :shock: .

I ordered my stuff off of Amazon. Don't forget to replace the chain too. Parts will last longer if they are the same age than if you are putting new sprockets on with a half life chain or a new chain on with sprockets that are half way gone. My last chain purchase was a nice Pro Taper XRC and I'm very happy with the lack of stretching, even with the extra hp I'm putting down.

Thanks a lot for the links! I will definitely be picking those sprockets up soon and getting a new chain to go along with them. Any recommendations on the chain? Ive heard this bike can benefit from a good light chain to make the most of the power? I cant wait to try it out with the proper gear ratio. :smt026

DID 520ERT2 is the way to go if you want a non o-ring chain.
