sandbanshee1818 Posted December 20, 2003 Report Posted December 20, 2003 Anyone help me in the question: what would the +'s and -"s be on regearing up or down? How does it work? Is it worth it? Thanks Quote
BansheeKid13 Posted December 20, 2003 Report Posted December 20, 2003 what do u wanna gear ur bike towards...? top end speed or low end speed....thats the first thing... Quote
Banchetta Posted December 22, 2003 Report Posted December 22, 2003 Anyone help me in the question:what would the +'s and -"s be on regearing up or down? How does it work? Is it worth it? Thanks Gear it up to a 15 front tooth and it'll help kill the tire spin and get better traction..It'll also help acceleration where the shee has close gears already and you spend to much time shifting and not accelerating...This is for a piped shee w/ knobby tires. Sand tires require lower gearing then knobbies.... Quote
bizanchee Posted December 22, 2003 Report Posted December 22, 2003 but should you gear down on the rear then banchetta? or just a 15 in front and leave the rear stock? Quote
Toomey Banshee Posted December 22, 2003 Report Posted December 22, 2003 Keep the rear the same. If you gear up in the front and down in the back you just defeated the purpose of it all. Quote
Banchetta Posted December 22, 2003 Report Posted December 22, 2003 You can gear it down in the back instead of gearing up in the front....Problem is, you can only go to a 40 steel in the rear and a 39 aluminum.....Also the front is cheaper and makes more difference.. It takes 3 teeth in the rear to = 1 tooth in the front.... Ex: 14/41 is the same as 15/44 14/41 =13/38..... Quote

To go bigger like a 45 you have to take the plate off altogether. Quote
bizanchee Posted December 22, 2003 Report Posted December 22, 2003 ok so deffinately change the front, but how much of a differance will one tooth make .... will it deffinately be substantial? like if i go to a 15 front will i dramatically loose low end=no more wheelies Quote

sandbanshee1818 Posted December 22, 2003 Author Report Posted December 22, 2003 Thanks for all you're comments. Both my shees have 12 front and 41 rear (the stock setup) The one I'm looking to make quicker is piped, ported, heads milled, etc etc etc., but the other day I was looking at my wifes new stock one and noticed we were both running the same configuration. I pretty much only run in the sand, should I go to a 13 or 14 or what? Thanks for your advise. Quote
Blue Duece Posted December 22, 2003 Report Posted December 22, 2003 stan runs a 64 rear and a 10 up front because his mom wont let him go over 50 mph...... Quote

Sand tires require lower gearing then knobbies.... That is exactly what happened for me when I went to a 15t front tooth and kept the 41t in the rear. I LOVE IT! It does make a noticable difference in the time between gears, I don't have to shift near as quick, and am able to stay in the powerband longer. I haven't noticed any situation where having the bigger gear hurt my performance. It was one of the best mods for the money that I have done...JMO Quote
