Primary axles, secondary gears help with this VT CYCLE email

Elite-ist · Post by **Elite-ist** » Fri Sep 05, 2008 8:16 am

I am trying to get a keli variator and 9:1 gears - can anyone tell me what this email means? The 2nd one is really confusing me - what is the "axle" he is talking about?

Hey,

Sorry, we did not get the 9 to 1 gear set in, but I was able to get a set from another shop I deal with.
This is the rear gears set or secondary gears.

What else did you want? I looked back at the email below. I only have new axles for the Elite / Dio.
But they are only $35.00 new. Just a $7.00 than the used one I offered you.

Are you trying to install these in an Aero 50 or a 1987 Elite (SE50)? I'm sorry but I have had two other
customers asking for this same set up and got confused who wanted what. Please excuse me and I
will do my best to get you what you need at a good price. Please let me know what you wanted again.

Talk to you soon,
Steve VT

Hey,

I found the axle that I had. And I have a ASN set Primary (front gears).
I need now the 9 to 1 gears that I have coming in later in the week.

I can offer you the axle with a stock gear for $28.00. Let me see what
the 9 to 1 gears will cost when they come in. I will talk to you on
Friday.
I hope to have the parts in by than.

Talk soon,

Are you trying to put this in an SE50?

When he is talking about the axle...he is talking about what the wheel it is connected on.

The one that says 93+. The top one that has the long shaft on it is your axle.

There are two different gear sets:

Set One come with two gears. One that replaces your secondary gear and the other gear that goes on your axles. Which your rear wheel is connected to.

Set two come with just a primary gear replacement. The primary gear is on your your tranny cover. It's a long shaft that is pressed into the tranny cover. This is what connects to your clutch.

Feel free to correct anything if i made some mistakes.

no its a dio

part of 9:1 gears is changing the actual rear wheel axle?

No, on a dio you press off the stock gear and press on the 9:1 gear.

The axle with the gear need to be pressed off. Then you can press the new one on.

Gear pullers won't do the job.

ya, it takes a LOT of pressure to get the gear off

A 20 ton press should do the trick.

ya, i took it to a transmission shop, he was scared he was gonna break my gear it had so much pressure on it and nothing happening, then all of the sudden it came free

I took my set to a local machine shop. They had a 50 ton hydraulic press which made short work of the small job. As a bonus the dude who helped me out didn't even charge anything.
