Currently, you are way over paddling your bike. Even when you get it ported, that's a ton of tire for what your bike will be. After porting, assuming you launch in 2nd, I'd guess somewhere around 14-44 for the gearing would give you good results. You might wanna keep a look out for some 21" haulers on an 8" rim, 9 or 10 paddle, and 14-42 gearing. You'd probably like that alot more.

VegasJeff Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 im running stock ones and the take off feels slow and the top needs more speed to Well if your running stock and it feels slow off the start,gearing up to make top speed faster will only make it worse.try to borrow a twenty inch tire from a buddy and see how that feels before you spend cash on sprokets. :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odaen Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 so 14-44 for gearing is a good way to go right? but what about if i go with 12-44 what diffrence will that make on it with 21" haulers? First, I don't think you understand gearing. If you go down in size on the tire, you need to increasing your gearing to keep the overall ratio the same. So, going to a smaller diameter tire, then dropping 2 teeth off the front will drastically lower your overall drive ratio. Second, I've heard you don't wanna run a sprocket smaller than 14teeth from a few builders, because it puts more strain on the chairn having to bend around that diameter. Dunno if that's true or not, but I've always kinda took it. As for porting, a dune port will really make a huge difference in your power. Top speed on the sand is almost pointless as well. If you find a patch of sand long and flat enough for 6th gear wide open runs, more often than not, you'll see some guy waiting patiently for his buddy to run back to camp for the tow strap cause he just melted his top end.

STINKYDELUXE Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 I would get some sprockets and extra chain and go to your local track on a test and tune day. That will give you a 60' time and a 300' time and you will really know whats happening. just my .02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
