06specialedition Posted July 12, 2009 Report Posted July 12, 2009 I've been told I need to add a few teeth on my rear sprocket. I've dropped one tooth in the front, so im running a 13 front now....any ideas on rear gearing.....Ive heard it can make a huge difference. Right now I pretty much ride little sahara dunes only. i dont really drag a whole lot but once in a while i like to beat people, mostly play on the dunes though.....im running 21x11x8 10 paddle haulers! Thanks! -ZB Quote
locogato11283 Posted July 12, 2009 Report Posted July 12, 2009 why would someone tell you to add teeth on the rear? what was their reason for this? also, there are far more things that affect gearing that just tire size.. rider weight, swingarm length, and mods play a huge part. Quote
06specialedition Posted July 12, 2009 Author Report Posted July 12, 2009 Yeah one of my buddies was all saying since i dropped down one tooth in the front to add a few in the rear.......for more low end gearing a guess................im no gearing expert. stock swinger, 21x11x8 10 paddle haulers, 200LB rider Quote
locogato11283 Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 tell your buddy hes an idiot. you already lowered your gearing by dropping a tooth in the front. by adding teeth in the rear you will drop it even further. do you have issues taking off or something? Quote
06specialedition Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Posted July 13, 2009 No it takes off pretty damn good Quote
spurdy Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 No it takes off pretty damn good If your spinning a 10 paddle hauler at Little Sahara I would say go back up to a 14 on the front. Could you launch in second gear with the 14? If not I would stick with the 13 up front OR stay with the 13 and add a tooth or 2 to the rear. One tooth up front is equal to about 3 on the rear. I would shoot for a nice good pull launching in second gear. If it wants to flip over on you then I would gear up, if it bogs outa the hole I would gear it down. SP Quote
06specialedition Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Posted July 13, 2009 ok thats good to know...thanks guys. Off topic but, Would I be a dumb ass to get my CPI's powder coated black? Im thinking about it someday. Quote
spurdy Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 (edited) ok thats good to know...thanks guys. Off topic but, Would I be a dumb ass to get my CPI's powder coated black? Im thinking about it someday. Is there something wrong with the chrome or do you just want them black? There is a guy up in AK that had his pipes painted white and they look pretty damn good! I guess its all in what you want. There is a set of Black ones for sale in the FOR SALE section. SP Edited July 13, 2009 by spurdy Quote
06specialedition Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Posted July 13, 2009 No nothing wrong with the chrome at all....just thinking maybe they would look cool since my bike is all yellow and black! Quote
uwenr Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 No nothing wrong with the chrome at all....just thinking maybe they would look cool since my bike is all yellow and black! Like these, CPI did these but any PC place will do them Quote
