Gearing Question?

[robrocks71]

I have a 1995 Banshee with FMF Fatty pipes. No other mods have been done. I run the southern Oregon dunes with the bike and am curious what gearing (sprockets) works the best in this application?

 

My wife rides a Warrior so Im not riding real aggresive but want a taller gear ratio for less shifting.. Any ideas?

 

Thanks.

What size paddles you running? stock swingarm?

[robrocks71]

Running Sand Gear paddles (which suck by the way) and stock swingarm. The bike is bone stock except the FMF fatty's and the TORS removal.

Yeah I recommend Skat-Trak haulers..... If your wanting longer gears you could try one tooth larger in the front sprocket. the stock is a 14 tooth, so try a 15. You will have to adjust your chain of course.

I had a 15 on my banshee last weekend at sand mountain and I had no top end. My gears were a little too tall. dropped back to a 14 and was much better.
