You sure its 15 x 42?

I KNOW for SURE that 16x42 is a 9 to 1 and a 17x41 is 8:44 to 1.
These are for Final drive gears now. I would think if its 15 that the other gear has to be 43 for it all to fit and work but I could be wrong.

Thats all I know.

I just ordered a set of 17x41 from an ebay seller at $29 plus $19 shipping $48 total. Also found another place taht sells them slightly cheaper called Scooter Asassins. They have a website but also sell on ebay

i wish i knew how they figure this gear stuff out. just went back and counted and its 15X 42.. someone must have made a big mistake in packaging. i guess i will have to just wait for the proper gears is all. i think the 8.44 is a decent choice for what i am doing.
i know there are some pretty good deals out there, and am going to look around some too

Who did you buy it from? Did you trial fit it and see if it still worked anyway? If it does, those numbers should give you somewhere near just above 9 to 1.

called vt cycles where i got the gears and they said its a 9.8 or so gear.. they will replace them for the correct set.
