sloshee Posted April 26, 2006 Report Posted April 26, 2006 I have an 05 and just bought titan trekkers 22 11 10 and 22 8 10 i would like to keep the ratio as close to stock as possible so what size should i drop the front sprocket to, if it is a 14 or 15 stock can i just hacksaw 2 teeth off. when i do a new sprocket on the front will i need to remove a link. this quadwheeler has very few hours so i am not real worried about purchasing a new sprocket chain combo. hopefully someone can help Quote

ogre03 Posted April 26, 2006 Report Posted April 26, 2006 , if it is a 14 or 15 stock can i just hacksaw 2 teeth off. 508133[/snapback] WTF?? Umm, NO! You should have a 14 on front try running that first. If you think it's too high, then try a 13. You will probably be fine with the 14 though. Quote

sloshee Posted April 26, 2006 Author Report Posted April 26, 2006 i appreciate the fast replies, and i wonder why the guy that i buy all my stuff from said to just cut two teeth off with a hacksaw. he seems smart when i bought my carbon fibre powerband it made it way faster just like he said. he did a valve job on my shee and sold me a lightweight oring cam chain and lobed out cam. it is prolly the fastest bike ever. i am sorry that ya took me serious on cutting the teeth off, i thought it was pretty funny. thanks for your replies made it a great welcome to the site.

HOW MUCH IS A CARBON FIBRE POWERBAND GONING FOR NOW? how did you install cam chain and cam do you have pics? Quote

I was only told to make 1 change at a time on gearing ....... id try a 14,41 or if ure engines got some power 16,41......... im runnin a 17/38 on a 10mill stroker with 21" Quote

sloshee Posted April 26, 2006 Author Report Posted April 26, 2006 well the truth being i think that guy lied to me. i kind of think the lightweight carbon fibre did help the powerband but since i weigh around 210 and my banshee has 35 lbs of torque using new math that is about 245 pounds of torque, now multiply that by 6 speeds and add the 10 octane booster i put in instead of oil in my gas that makes around 1312 horsepower give or take 1.268 horses. not to mention i replaced my air with helium in the tires and this thing flies. the cam thing was just a joke, even i know a banshee cam cant be replaced, its welded to the head duh!
