So I put a 30 on my A3 with a ZA CDI and it rubs a little on the flywheel. Super cool sparks and 55mph with a 22 rear. I'm now ordering a 31 and a 20, because I am running a mini rotor and have ALL the room. Wish me luck. Go A3 go. And ya, screw a dremel for this, angle grinder all day.

Worthwhile upgrade

After a kit and various other upgrades, I decided to try out a bigger front sprocket. Went from a 25t to a 28t. Feels GREAT! I hit 52 mph on GPS winding out tucked but into a strong wind. Took a good amount of grinding on the case and side cover, but it was worth it. I couldn't imagine going much bigger, though. This was on my kickstart A35, fwiw. Bought me at least a few mph.

A 'little bit' of case grinding they said...

You'll read around on forums that anything over a 27T gear needs a 'little bit' of grinding. I ordered the 30T knowing there was work ahead of me but holy hell!!! I tossed my dremel aside after about 15 seconds and grabbed a 6" angle grinder. I had to remove a LOT of material and the flywheel is now exposed to the chain and any debris it drags in, so I'm gonna have to stay on clean roads and the hell away from mud from now on! I had to grind the foot peg mount for clearance too. All in all it's definitely shortened the life of the bike but I'm hitting 65km/hr now just with an air filter and biturbo exhaust. ZOOM!
