sheefreak Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Depends what kind of riding you do. Prolly great in tight trails, not so good on wide open trails or dunes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Jackson Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 you will probably have trouble fitting a swingarm skidplate on there with a 45 tooth rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheefreak Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 22x11x8 Well, i guess different strokes for different folks. I ran a 15-41 or 15-42 w/my duner setup and 22-11-8's. It was drag ported though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snop does not have the extensive motor work you do....Damian.... I run 16/45, run out of gear at the 300 ft mark launching in 2nd....a 13 tooth on mine would make the first 3 gears usesless...LOL. Just different setups... Don't forget, D....they are in a different kind of sand than we ride, too...that's a BIG part of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when I ran a stock motor w/Pipes, a 13 alone made it a wheelie monster and quite the trail machine. W/a 13 tooth, you would be launching in 3rd LOL.

I do launch in third, I hit 5th before the race is over and crest the top of boxcar pulling a wheelie. I use first and second for normal play riding, taking off, and climbing holes. I am the blue bike in this race, and this is a 3rd gear launch. Youtube Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheefreak Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 I agree w/Roger. Friend of mine geared his to launch in third but only because his second was toast. I also believe 2nd is much stronger than third as far as gear strength is concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
