slowpokebanshee Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 I am currently running 15-41 gearing, at olds, and it just won't pull 4th gear, can't start in second...but the sand was kinda' wet last time out...going for Easter, should I go to 14-41, or leave it alone? will the sand be dry enough? MY mods are as follows: t-5s , shaved head, 7 degrees advance timing, lightened flywheel, K&N clamp on filters, jetting is 27.5 pilot, stock needle position, and 280 mains...runs good, but need a little more bottom end.

What tires are you running? Quote
BdBanshee Posted March 7, 2005 Report Posted March 7, 2005 I would say drop a tooth on front, I go out there every couple of years and have 14/42 and pull the steep side in 5th easy with 10 paddle extremes. Quote
sheecandy Posted March 7, 2005 Report Posted March 7, 2005 I had 14-42 and 20x10x10 haulers, with similar set-up worked good at olds Quote
Ducman Posted March 7, 2005 Report Posted March 7, 2005 Sounds lean on the mains, with K&N pods and timing advance I'd say go to 320's minimum. I would try 14 tooth in front so it will pull 4th. Quote
slowpokebanshee Posted March 8, 2005 Author Report Posted March 8, 2005 I am running 20x10x10 eight scoop skat trak edges, 5 psi maybe a little lean???? that might explain why it just doesn't pull that hard on top.... Quote

sheecandy Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 oh yeah put in the 320 like ducman said it will go up in 4th no problem Quote
slowpokebanshee Posted March 9, 2005 Author Report Posted March 9, 2005 320??? sounds pretty fat??? runs good at 280, if it was that lean I would surely see my plugs??? they are a nice dark brown....but I will try it and see what happens... Quote
Blue Duece Posted March 9, 2005 Report Posted March 9, 2005 as long as your motors stock id run a 13 Quote
bansheeryder21 Posted March 9, 2005 Report Posted March 9, 2005 Stock is 14-41. When I was running stock I couldn't hit 4th gear up test hill. I geared down in the front to a 13 and now I can hit 4th like nothing! It's a lot nicer overall riding in sand. Quote
slowpokebanshee Posted March 10, 2005 Author Report Posted March 10, 2005 I should also mention I am about 215 lbs. with gear on....maybe go to a 12 tooth front sprocket and 380 main jets??? J/K I will try 300 mains, with the current gearing and maybe drop to a 14 front sprocket, half way through the weekend, get a feel for what's better....thanks Quote
wesw Posted March 11, 2005 Report Posted March 11, 2005 320 really are not that fat i used to run 340 with my old setup Quote
slowpokebanshee Posted March 12, 2005 Author Report Posted March 12, 2005 well, what was your old setup????? Quote
05bansh Posted March 13, 2005 Report Posted March 13, 2005 as long as your motors stock id run a 13 336045[/snapback] I'd put the 13 on the front for sure! Thats what I run, I can climb most the hills at the dunes in 4th for the most part, and downshifting to 3rd. Quote
