Dropping a Tooth on the Papio (Send It or End It?)

The BEST $12 Mod For The CFMOTO Papio! (Step-by-Step Front Sprocket Upgrade) Looking for the best bang-for-your-buck modification for your CFMOTO Papio? In this video, we're showing you how to swap out the stock 15-tooth front sprocket for a 14-tooth upgrade. For under $15 (we found ours on eBay for just $12.22!), this quick mod completely transforms the personality of the bike. Dropping one tooth gives the Papio much better acceleration, helps it catch gears quicker, and ensures it doesn’t bog down when you're tackling hills or pushing into a headwind. If you want to make your mini-bike feel way more torquey and responsive around town, this is a must-do! We’ll walk you through the entire step-by-step installation process, share a few lessons we learned the hard way (including a sheared factory bolt!), and give you a full ride review comparing the 15T vs. 14T performance.
