[QUOTE="Porkchop, post: 1375678, member: 22923"] [b]Gear up or Gear down, on the wrong motor?[/b] Hi joe, lower gearing will let the motor rev, while converting more of the available power to rear wheel, controllable usable torque. That motor has a racing cam to make peak power at high engine rpm, higher gearing will cause the bike to bog thru the lower rpm range with less controllable rear wheel torque, then power comes on too late& way to fast for this riders comfort zone, if you will. In my opinion there is nothing worse than an over geared, high revving, small displacement bike on a tight twisting trail or a track. It's one thing if the rider is an intermediate or expert that can ride the bike aggressively, but we're talking about this mans wife who sounds like a beginner or a novice rider, best to start out with a bike set up to work well going slower. Best Regards, Porkchop... :cool: [/QUOTE]
