helo, I have a xc150 (2011), I use it for riding hills and and just general bush riding like through pines and stuff, but when I ride on a fast section, it runs out of gears too quick and is too slow in top gear, the gearing was 50tooth rear and 13 front, but now ive put on 48 rear, I haven't ridden it yet, but will it still climb hills well in first or second gear??
what so just ill have to give it a bit more up hill? because I had to change it as the top gear wasn't quick enough but it should be now
by the way, with my bike, its been trying to cut out and stop, but when we cleaned up the spark plug it was fine for a while, is that all it would be?? ive just put a new one in now though so ill see how it goes
Start looking for an old WR tranny. It has the same 6th but 1st is quite a bit lower and then the rest of the gears are spaced accordingly. That way you can gear it up and still maintain very close to the same 1st/2nd gear ratio's. This tranny is great for the 165 as it has the torque to easily pull the wider spacing when you gear it up significantly. You want the tranny from the wr from 98 through 02. Some of the early CR's also had this tranny.
I probably would go that far, ill just muck around with the sprockets, but thanks for the help! do you think with 13/48 it would still get up alright in first though?
