n2otoofast4u Posted December 18, 2014 Report Posted December 18, 2014 pics of star^^ That was long ago. As I remember I had used a small nut and ground it to fit in the rounded area and then welded it on then ground the leading edge of the nut to be sure it could get to neutral but not into first.

camatv Posted December 19, 2014 Report Posted December 19, 2014 ok so then it just rolls past 1st gear.. BUT if your not happy with a 1-5 starting in 1st your gearing is to short, your not doing it right, you have some sort of setup fail thats causing a problem. to launch the 1-5 in 2nd just shift it into 2nd up to the line. make sure the bike rolls a tad in gear after you make the shift to make sure 2nd is all the way engaged. if not your risking breaking the tips off the dogs.

Build a bone stock 350 turbo bike. You will start doing all sorts of weird shit to figure out how to get the fugger to leave the line and be happy at the other end of the track. It wasnt ideal, but it worked. Once we figured out what it liked we set it up the "proper" way but there was some pretty serious tail chassing going on at first. Quote

I use the 1-5 to asphalt. But i will go sand . So i would not change the transmission just for some days. So until the launch, i put 2nd and leave the clucth a little for secure that the shift enter? Could it jump to another shift and broke something? Before in the post many said that the transmission work launching in 2nd . Maybe some advices are good to not broke the transmission . Thanks Quote
camatv Posted December 19, 2014 Report Posted December 19, 2014 my 485's last setup was overdrive straight cuts, 16/41 gear on 72-74 roll 14 staggerd extremes and the bike weighs 290lbs and i weigh 290 lbs.. it still is a rocket out of the hole. hell if i dig a deep rut in the sand its even better. there is no way in hell i can start in 2nd with that setup. the 535 is even better. its just what i had to do to keep from destroying 2nd all those years ago when i tried 4 different 2-5 transmissions. the biggest thing is to shift when the bike wants to not when you think you should usually i'm in 2nd within about 3 foot of the take off. 1st just takes the initial slam of the launch. of course this is what i fouind works well for my particular situation and after 3 seasons of destroyed transmissions what has held up so far.. after the trans started to hold then i was ripping chains all the time. but thats a whole notha story 1 Quote
jscharphorn Posted December 19, 2014 Report Posted December 19, 2014 camatv, so what chain are you not breaking now ? Quote
possum Posted December 20, 2014 Report Posted December 20, 2014 Cam, so your ending in 4th? I know 1st is stronger the 2nd, but is 4th stronger then 5th? im assuming so. I like a 16-41 or 17-43. I can see how that setup is wirking for you. Quote

Rider 220 lbs. 443 Cub on race gas. Shifted around the 60' mark. Quote
SlowerThanYou Posted December 20, 2014 Report Posted December 20, 2014 thats some tire^^ We pulled our best MPH with the Rippers & best 60' with the 74" 12 paddle extremes. Both tires pulled 1.30 60's, extremes low 1.30s & mid to high 1.30s for the Rippers. The Rippers ran 3 mph faster than the extremes. Quote
possum Posted December 20, 2014 Report Posted December 20, 2014 thats odd, but interesting the rippers ran more mph and slower 60. Quote
