Tuning Gear Help
Posted: Wed Jan 21, 2015 5:30 pm
I'm trying to resurrect my SA50 engine for daily use. Currently, I have on it:
70 (something?) cc bore kit
Arrow Pipe
28 Kehin Carb
stock gears
mod pulley
mod clutch spring
All on dio zx wheels (30/30?)
I can feel the gears holding it back big time and never got to changing them until now. I'm pretty much a noob on this so I was wondering what gear ratio do you recommend for this set up. I'm about 180lbs and need to go up a pretty steep (20% incline?) hill to and from work. I also need to keep up with traffic so looking at about 50 to 60 mph top end. I've read a lot about gears and gear ratios on this site but still need inputs based on experiences.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
