Bansh-eman Posted October 4, 2006 Report Posted October 4, 2006 Cool.....did you go with some people from HQ a couple weeks ago? My buddy was out there with an HQ guy.....he just got his bike ported and was getting used to it. he was telling me about the guys bike....4mil haulers.....can't remember his first name....my buddies name is Elisha....sound familiar....? Thanks for the advice on the gearing i'll give it a wirl... yea me and Polish from here went out ... we didnt talk to any one though we where to busy riding... well i take that back we wokeup to some dumbass kid that him and his buddy got stuck in the sand over night drinking and offraoding in a 2 wheel drive tundra.. and then we got kickout of vender flats by the law....going back not this weekend but next... for one last test run before halloween Quote
RATBIKE0130 Posted October 4, 2006 Report Posted October 4, 2006 love it! it works great for hills and dragging, other than that i don't need to go any faster than that in 6th :thumbsup: The rs in your name must stand for REALLY SLOW... that kind of gearing is a waste on a banshee. Quote
Bansh-eman Posted October 4, 2006 Report Posted October 4, 2006 The rs in your name must stand for REALLY SLOW... that kind of gearing is a waste on a banshee. Indeed, that gearing is all bark no bite! great you can lauch fast as fuk but after your launch you have nothing to pull on.... Quote
fast500#12 Posted October 5, 2006 Report Posted October 5, 2006 (edited) i beg to differ i am running 13/46 on my bike. and last time i was out at sand mountain nv two weeks ago. i was clocked at 55 mph 3/4 of the way to the top in 5th gear. next time you are out go look at the gearing on the big boys bikes, there gearing in relation to there power. you can only go as fast as the gear you are in, me in fith with 13/46 is still faster than you in 3rd at 14/41. i say third because that is the highest gear my bike would pull on banshee hill when i was at 14/41 banshee speed calulator Edited October 5, 2006 by fast500#12 Quote
dajogejr Posted October 5, 2006 Report Posted October 5, 2006 There's no replacement for displacement....or good porting. The gearing is only as good as the engine will pull....as said. If I even thought about running 13/46 on my bike, I'd have to take off in 4th gear.... :biggrin: Quote
fast500#12 Posted October 5, 2006 Report Posted October 5, 2006 (edited) if i had a 421 cub i wouldn't be running that gearing either. but after a lot of testing and playing around with gearing my bike runs the fastest at 13/46. i ran 55 mph on the hill, two weeks before with 14/41 i only ran 41 mph. tunning is not just tweeking carbs and advancing timing. atleast 90 hp vs. 65 to 70 hp makes a huge differance. bansheeseats's bike a 421 cub runs 68 on the same hill. BIG differance. like i said before power to gearing ratio,(more power taller gearing). i agree no replacement for displacement oh and i do launch in 2nd Edited October 5, 2006 by fast500#12 Quote
