Gearing Question


Recommended Posts

Whats the bigest gear that I can run and still have a case saver?? I would hate to spend 2500 bucks on and engine then throw a chain and f*ck up my case. I am running a 41 on the back, whats the equivilent to 17/40 16/40

i think 16 but it might be 15 i know my 17 wont run one and had to notch my stock case a bit, for my 17, im a bit leary of that myself and run a oem chain.....but long ago in the other forums i was reading posts from guys like nyuk who are running high ponies and pinning there bikes and snapping off gears without snapping a chain, i think nyuk runs a tsubaki like i do....... i havent snapped a chain in 12 years of banshees but others have........

nyuk runs asphalt though.

well he has more chance of snapping a chain then wouldnt ya think? im in dirt where i can break the tires loose, before snapping my chain ......on pavement, with those big ass drag tires those guys run youd think they would have more chance of snapping.......

I don't understand it though. I dragged my bike a little and was running a RK520 chain like my quad....My bike is pushing 135hp at the wheels w/ 60lbs of torque....I pulled 110mph in the 1/8 at 6.6 seconds and 135mph in the 1/4 in 10 flat........I wonder if their chains aren't perfectly aligned or running the stock swingarm which will give problems being straight.....

man at those speeds youd think you would have to really be on check with the chain adjusters......i had a cbr 900 and i know if they wernt dead nuts it would veer and pull like crazy over 125mph.....good times to banch thats flyin
