well as some of you know...my quad blew up this fall...it was a sad day
but KTM is giving me all free parts so props to them since my machine isn't under warrenty..i'm just gonna have to pay labor and my dealer told me it wont be too steep...anyways
i was considering re-gearing my machine for more Top end, maybe in the 80-85 MPH range..
i most likely wont be running these speeds but i ride at 70 mph or more all the time when i'm out ditch riding with buddies, i'm considering re-gearing so i'm not running such high RPM's trying to keep up with my buddies on their raptor 700's
so any ideas on what would be the most reliable thing i can do to accomplish this? sprocket sizes?
and will gearing it for that much top end drastically affect my bottom? anything recommendations would be great
also.........i heard a rumor about rims, a guy told me YFZ450's have the same bolt pattern as the front of the XC machines and TRX450's have the same bolt pattern as the rear of the XC machines..
is this true? i'm thinkin about finding an extra set of rims this winter
