hawke Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 I have a 01 banshee with t5,K&n filters Pro flo, 28 pwks, Majics racing billet intakes and cages, billet basket, dirt digger kevlar set, lockup clutch and gncc holeshots. I am wondering what gearing I should run. I was thinking 14/40 with my 20 inch holeshots shouldn't be a problem, am I right?

Michael Jackson Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 (edited) yea it will pull 14/40 with 20's no problem gearing changes depend on what ur doin with the bike i put a 13t front on because some hills 3rd would be a little too much but 2nd wasnt enough, now i can run 3rd no problem Edited August 23, 2008 by Michael Jackson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawke Posted August 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 I knew this question would be asked.... I have a friend with a ltr450 and we raced the other day on a paved road and a dirt rd. I had him out of the hole and up until I hit 5th gear. Thats when he went around me slowly At three hundred ft I had him but then he ould stroll on by. I began to question my gearing which was 15/42. I did find some problems other than my gearing. I had put the lock up on and did not notice before I raced him that my rear brake would never fully release as it was hitting the bottom of my lock up. When I got home from the race I could barely push my bike into the garage my rotor was so fuked up. I also was running to fat so I lowered the main a couple. To answer the question I would like to have a trailable gearing probaly leaning towards the top end for the accosional 450. I bought the bike in a basket and it was the first race with it. I am starting to think it wasn't the gearing s fault but would like some other opinions. Thanks Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 i see. yea, that brake drag and jetting could have hurt you.. 15/42 should be more than enough gearing with your mods to beat any stock 450 4 stroke. play with this thing to see where you might want your gearing.. http://home.earthlink.net/~gellett/banshee.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
