Bansh88 Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 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.

batoutofshell Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Played with gearing on the trails and MX stuff. but like you said wide open areas nothing beats the stockers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smkmupbanshee Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
race-a-holic Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallrat Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 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.

Master of Faster Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 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.

Bansh88 Posted May 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 This was on a stock engine. Just pipes, Vforce and 2 into 1 carb. It was overall a smoother ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnduner Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KlotzBanshee Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 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....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
