I have my casings split and was wanting to know the benefits of fitting a 65 tooth primary and a 22 tooth SIP strengthened clutch. With the primary can I remove the 68 and fit the 65 or do I need the complete unit.
Thanks Gary

I can't imagine a PX125 that would ever pull 4th with gearing that high!

No mate, a PX struggles to pull the standard 20/68 primary, raising it would be a bad idea.

Yes I know, I won't be going down that road sticking with the 68.

125 barrel, or just 125 cases?
With a half decent kit on it, it should pull 23/65 with ease.

Are you undergearing it for a reason?
Your kit should pull 4.8, two up, with ease. Esp with a SIP road on it.
