Drop a tooth?

[Bansh88]

I went back to stock teeth after several years at the famous "drop a tooth" setup. After some great rides at Glamis this weekend, Stock gearing is the best! Each gear pulled and pulled. It did appear that I needed to shift a bit more in the chop. But when we hit the open bowls and rollers, I was shredding.

Anyone who rides sand and is at the different sprocket setups, try stock again when you can. I'm never going back.

i think i wanna drop a tooth in the rear.

Played with gearing on the trails and MX stuff. but like you said wide open areas nothing beats the stockers!

I run a 13/41 on my trail snail at the dunes...My motor is ported and the shee pulls hard through all the gears...Is your motor ported? I do run 14/41 on my dragger though...

On my banshee last year,I was using 13/41.It seemed to really like that gearing.Tried alot of different combinations.It did have porting,shearers,and alky though.It seemed like it would pull forever. The motor really liked that gearing,but my poor little barnett clutches hated that set-up.LOL!

im at 11/41 going to try stock at st anthony se how itll work. i didnt put on the 11 it came that way supposedly cause it has 22s wtf.

 

how much harder is higher gearing on clutches??

 

stock motor should i expect any problems?

With an 11 tooth up front your chain is gonna be dead w/in a couple months. Shoulda gone bigger on the rear instead...

 

For sand on my piped shee I liked 13/41. On 14/41 I could never get it out of 3rd. Once I got my motor work done I switched back to 14/41 but now I've got a 15T up front to see how that does.

I run 15/41 in the sand with 8 paddle haulers, still pulls 2nd gear out of the hole, but with so many guys here running lower gearing with the same mods maybe I am missing something I might have to try stock gearing again.

This was on a stock engine. Just pipes, Vforce and 2 into 1 carb. It was overall a smoother ride.

[mnduner]

im gonna be at 14/41 with 20x10 8 padle extremes. t-5s, single 35pwk trinity intake clamp on filter,

 

will this be too tall?

[KlotzBanshee]

If you've ever noticed, almost all pro racers keep the stock gearing. They must do that for a reason?

 

But they usually have standard size tires and mildly built motors, so who knows.

Probably just a preference....?

I plan on running stock gearing on trail and dunes with my new motor...

However, we have a 1/2 mile long grass field we're going to be drag racing in...and when that happens, I'll be going 16/40 or so.

 

Need for top end...baby!! 1/4 mile is more than enough to top a shee out...so, I'll be gearing up for that...
