Banchetta Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 Anyone help me in the question:what would the +'s and -"s be on regearing up or down? How does it work? Is it worth it? Thanks Gear it up to a 15 front tooth and it'll help kill the tire spin and get better traction..It'll also help acceleration where the shee has close gears already and you spend to much time shifting and not accelerating...This is for a piped shee w/ knobby tires. Sand tires require lower gearing then knobbies.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bizanchee Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 but should you gear down on the rear then banchetta? or just a 15 in front and leave the rear stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toomey Banshee Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 Keep the rear the same. If you gear up in the front and down in the back you just defeated the purpose of it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banchetta Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 You can gear it down in the back instead of gearing up in the front....Problem is, you can only go to a 40 steel in the rear and a 39 aluminum.....Also the front is cheaper and makes more difference.. It takes 3 teeth in the rear to = 1 tooth in the front.... Ex: 14/41 is the same as 15/44 14/41 =13/38..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To go bigger like a 45 you have to take the plate off altogether. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bizanchee Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 ok so deffinately change the front, but how much of a differance will one tooth make .... will it deffinately be substantial? like if i go to a 15 front will i dramatically loose low end=no more wheelies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandbanshee1818 Posted December 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 Thanks for all you're comments. Both my shees have 12 front and 41 rear (the stock setup) The one I'm looking to make quicker is piped, ported, heads milled, etc etc etc., but the other day I was looking at my wifes new stock one and noticed we were both running the same configuration. I pretty much only run in the sand, should I go to a 13 or 14 or what? Thanks for your advise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sand tires require lower gearing then knobbies.... That is exactly what happened for me when I went to a 15t front tooth and kept the 41t in the rear. I LOVE IT! It does make a noticable difference in the time between gears, I don't have to shift near as quick, and am able to stay in the powerband longer. I haven't noticed any situation where having the bigger gear hurt my performance. It was one of the best mods for the money that I have done...JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
