Well when it gets a little warmer I will be putting the 18/36 gears in replacing my 16/37 gears. I just had the new 18 tooth shaft gear pressed onto the counter reduction gear. Alleyoop   |

Which does what for you, exactly? All this gear ratio stuff is sort of like calculus to me. More teeth = bigger gear = turns slower = more engine RPM = more power, right?

Works just like your CVT a bigger wheel turns a smaller wheel faster therefore more speed. Here this may help explain it better. See the final Drive Gear that is the gear that turns your wheel or in my case my SPROCKET which turns the chain that turns my rear axles. The gears that get changed are the FINAL DRIVE gear and the Counter Shape Gear which turns the Final Drive Gear. You can also change the Clutch Shaft and the Reduction Gear. The Shaft that your Rear Pulley and Clutch are on Turn the REDUCTION GEAR which in turn turns the Final Drive Gear. So My final drive gear that matchs the 18 tooth Counter Shaft has 36 teeth so now it is a 2 to 1 ratio. For every TWO turns of the Counter Shaft it turns the Final Drive 1 time. Normally the ratio is 3.Something to 1. This is called going with taller gearing for more top end speed. You can go the other way for more low end power and less top end speed, say for hill climbing and duning etc.. Alleyoop  |

Yes I do, I have hundreds of pics I use them to help folks if I happen to have a pic concerning their possible problem. If I have to I edit them and point out what on the picture. I always keep an original to be able to label something different for some other problem. A Picture as they say is worth a thousand words.  Alleyoop |
