I just installed the JTF1908.15RB sprocket from SO CAL Powersports $18.98 to the door. It fits perfectly, I still do not think a 16 tooth will fit under that wiring guard, but heck who knows somebody will figure out something if they can find a 16 tooth sprocket that is. Pouring rain test drive coming soon. View attachment 49

What size socket is needed to remove sprocket? Is it left or right hand thread? I appreciate any and all installation information.

did you need a puller to remove the sprocket? Did you have to split the chain? Could not get the original torque value had to use the rattle gun to remove the nut
I just pulled sprocket off with little pry bar with angle at the tip. It wiggled off after working it back and forth. I lifted the chain off the sprocket, loosen rear wheel push it all the way forward. Leaves plenty of slack to remove off sprocket.
 
Has anyone tried fitting a 41 tooth rear sprocket on a Speed 400 or Scrambler? That may be the only option for higher gearing on the Speed 400 as the Speed 400 already has the larger 15 tooth counter sprocket that some have upgraded their Scrambler to. It's easy to take the scrambler to a 15 tooth from a 14 tooth stock counter sprocket as the 15 tooth is available and we know it will fit. A 16 tooth looks like it may not fit at all with the internal guard that exists on both bikes. Has anyone tried to fit a 16 tooth counter sprocket?

Ref notes for some head scratchin' and Old Speckled Hen swiggin':

Scrambler stock gearing- 43 tooth rear sprocket, 14 tooth counter sprocket, 140/80 17" tire. (25.82" diameter)

Speed 400 stock gearing- 43 tooth rear sprocket, 15 tooth counter sprocket, 150/60 17" tire. ((24.09" diameter)

Thanks. I split the chain and used a puller to remove the sprocket. All in all pretty straight forward. Took an hour and a half. I just happened to have a chain breaker and the right master link. Had to buy a 27mm socket. I torqued to 90 ft lbs should be sufficient. As it is 90-95 degrees here. Test ride early tomorrow evening. With the throttle fix and sprocket change should be just about perfect. thanks to all for advice.

Can you please list the new RPM’s at various speeds?
Thx

As I wear distance glasses when riding the little RPM indicator is hard to determine. I can only tell you 70mph is a little below 6,000 RPM, 1st gear is much more manageable, 2nd gear is good for rolling start, 3 4 and 5 for everything else 6 for freeway. IMO well worth it.
 
Here's the only one I can find that says it's for the Triumph Speed 400. Bad news it's in Australia. But may help with info to find one in USA. I suspect there is one that will work once we figure the mounting dimensions will work/match.

Do these dimensions match? More research required. The fun continues.

I made some measurements and came up with 66 mm ID, 110 mm BC, & M8 clearance.

I went ahead and ordered a 37 tooth rear for my Scrambler 400 from Rebel Gears. It should arrive in the next few days. Looking forward to the change. Hopefully not too much chain contact with the slider on the top of the swing arm.
