gearing question

[steve chapman]

think the best and cheapest option would be to tell me mates to stop riding like a bunch of girls , thanks for your input guys

....are you feeling the same with yours , Steve

Yes mate, and I've heard the same from another Super Monza owner; I can live with it, though I would consider a 5 speed box, if there was one strong enough to cope

I'm putting a five speed cyclone in my super monza , ill let you know if I blow it up, and how it rides!!

Hi Steve,

Unfortunately, I'm not doing Shipston - which is only about 50 miles from me - I'm doing Vale of White Horse in Wiltshire. Shame, as it would've been good to meet up and have a chat

Hi Steve,

I've considered trying 15 x 48 (81 link chain) with same GT gearbox in mine, which gives 4.65 fourth gear ratio.

You might loose some top speed - in perfect conditions - but should be easier at low speeds, and on the pipe - 5.5k rpm - at 60.

In any event, let us know what you decide to do?

Cheers

Looking at the gearing calculator, this would be my recommendation too, although you may find going through 1st and 2nd a little quick. Although the Cyclone sounds good on paper and would be better in the top three gears, 1st & 2nd would be even worse than the above, the ratios aren't good for these motors.

Yes mate, definitely
