I got a Q?
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: trout

I feel a little stupid asking this but I dont know the answer so here it is!

When people say that a quad, the honda for instance, is geared a little too tall, what does Tall mean? too many teeth? and does more teeth up front produce more or less torque? or more or less speed/ top end?

please explain,
thank you very much!

To Tall >>> Geared too high, yes to many teeth UP FRONT...

More top end less bottom end...

It needs to be geared down with a 13t front or something more than a 38t in the rear (41t ex.)(every 3 teeth in back are eaqual to one tooth up front, dont go less than 13t in the front)...If you ride slow trails or just want more acceleration... for desert and MX i think the stock might be good ...?(i dunno)

There are many threads about this if you want you can do a search or im sure some other people will post here as well...

Good Luck
