I have a 2000 bigbear 400cc. I want to get more top end, with the 1st gear being so low, for pulling, I usally start in 2nd, When I reach 5th,it feels like theirs more, but no more gears,..any ideas?

 

I DONT KNOW IF IT TRUE BUT I HEAR YOU CAN USE A WOLVERINE GEAR SET IN THE BIG BEAR, BUT IT SOUNDS EXSPENSIVE.I HAVE THE SAME ATV AND IT REALLY NEEDS A SIXTH GEAR

 

no i think thats the other way around....i heard this guy was using big bear gears on his wolverine for mud riding

 

I also have a 2000 BB 400 4+4 and I feel the topend is too slow. I wish somebody would think of a way to get more speed out of this machine. Taller tires is the only thing practical to do at this time but maybe in the future Yamaha will make different ring and pinion gears or just a simple gear change inside the transmission will give the Big Bear more speed. If anybody has any ideas let me know! Thanks
