locogato11283 Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 the best way is to test some different gears. mine is setup to launch in 2nd gear. i make sure that my motor will pull it and also launch hard. i would think that 14/41 would be a good starting point for you for launching in 2nd.

Word... I tried 15/41 on mine and launching in first gear...hated it. Went back to 14 and am much happier launching in 2nd... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dajogejr Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Honestly...I"m just not creative enough to think of something good...so... It's the first two letters of my frist, middle and last name, and...I"m a Jr. Here's the silly part. Hillarious and I have the same real name, his middle name is just different, and we both use Jeff @ FAST racing, and he pointed it out...otherwise we probably both would've never known. Talk about off the wall, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dajogejr Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 You will gain acceleration....if your bike/tires hook up. But, you're shortening the gears...so you'll be shifting sooner and more often. If you're just spinning coming out of the hole as is....gearing down will only hurt you...

If you're just spinning coming out of the hole as is....gearing down will only hurt you... maybe thats what I need to do with my R i got. I have a bad problem with not hooking up on starts when I drag, even on pavement. I have 12/36 gearing and regular 20'' holeshots in the back, and a extended swingarm, not sure what size though, and when I take off in 2nd I just spin on pavement, in the dirt its even worse, I somestimes dont start hookin up until 3rd or 4th. I guess I need some different tires cause these holeshots dont hook up. how much would a 13t or 14t front help me would I lose much bottom end cause I mostly ride trails? I have pretty good take off, but I seem to shift through the gears pretty fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Not quite sure how an R is geared... You answered your own question...though. Holeshots are great hard pack dirt tires...they're going to suck for pavement, period. Get a street tire if you want to ride pavement. It's a trade off...lower gearing is better out of the hole, better response, quicker on the pipe, at the sacrifice of top end and shifting alot....

differentstrokes Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 I'm running 13/41 and all I can say is you better be ready to shift when you hit the throttle because the gears are really short. I can putt through tight stuff or around the yard a little better, but I also can notice a pretty good loss of topend over stock. If it's trails I'd go with a 13, if it's roads I'd go with a 14. I think a 12 is kind of hard on a chain since it bends so tight. JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
