MotulMonsta Posted March 6, 2004 Report Posted March 6, 2004 I run 13/42 on 20's right now. It's a little short but I never really get out of 3rd gear for very long. I don't get to race as much as I like but I got a few 1st place trophies last year. They were local races, nothing big. The tracks were short and tight. I was smoking some dirt bikeres and holding my own against a leager honda geometry chassis banshee. I'm going to bump up to 14/42 when my new rims get here. Rims aint' cheap..I had to use the one I was running hare scrambles on..hence the 20's on 10's. I got knocked on for that..but when you school a few yokles they stop talkin' trash. Quote
Blue Duece Posted March 6, 2004 Report Posted March 6, 2004 For stock, or 20" tires, stock gearing is better (14/41). Depending on traction of the launch, I like to start in 2nd gear. With this high a ratio, this could not be done effectively with 20" tires. i think it depends on your bike, if i run a 15/41 and shoot the gate in second ill loop my bike, on a stock bansh with pipes ive found a 15/41 to roll on decent with 20's, the less spin, the more accelereation, snapping the tires loose with a 14 in second seems like it would slow you down and youd be shifting plenty, unless like i said your motors just piped, in which case yer getting smoked anyway, unless youve got an ass kickin chassis thats gonna let your real everybody in over the rough stuff.......

OC-SHEE Posted March 23, 2004 Report Posted March 23, 2004 I have a Dynoport pipe and a 2 into 1 carb. I have 13 and 41 rear now but what do you think i should change too maybe a 14 front?? The tracks are not wide open I dono how to describe them but nothing like a nats so maybe tight. Let me know cuz if i need to change my gearing i need to get the stuff now. Quote
Foobie Posted March 23, 2004 Report Posted March 23, 2004 I am running a Dyno Port Pipe on 18"s. I am geared 14/41 and it works well unless I hit a big track then I bump up to 15/41. I normally stay in 3rd and some times 4th when i am racing! Hope that helps OC. Dustin Quote
MotulMonsta Posted March 25, 2004 Report Posted March 25, 2004 everyone is forgetting an important fact, Banshee's got one extra gear then the competition. That alone makes a diffrence. The bigest ratio change in the gearbox is from 2nd to 3rd gear after that, it's all pretty close. I don't know about anybody else, but I run hard on the clutch to save from shifting. Usualy only shift up one or down a gear after the start . So if i'm running third, I'll only see 4th and 2nd. Just smoke that clutch and keep the throttle pinned. Quote
