MT Gear Ratios

[Andre Meyer]

Hi Guys


I fitted Baja rear wheels to the front and back of my MT. I run a 29cc Zenoah engine with a dominator exhaust. My current gear ratio is: 25, 35, 25, 25. I have enormous low end pull away but no top end. If I change the stock ratio to: 35, 25, 25, 25 would it be bad for the clutch as this changes it from the lowest gear ratio to the highest?

I did it with proline trenchers. I'm certain the clutch wouldn't tolerate it for long. It is just too tall on gearing.

There is no take off and top speed occurs so late it's hard to make it, even in a straight line on asphalt, but you could swap it for a test run just to satisfy curiosity.

You can run a 29,31,25,25 it will still give you a good bottom and a decent top end.

Thx Guys. It is difficult to get different gears here in South Africa as nobody seems to stock or import them. I will search for someone that might be able to send me some.
