i jsu bought 27 inch 589's and have lost some power
i was wondering what could i do to gain power in the lower gears

 

Go back to 26" tires that will lower your gear ratio back down and not kill your torque.

 

That would be a pretty expensive change.

You can get a new filter and rejet the machine. An exhaust system would help too.

 

Yeah and it might teach these guys a lesson about doing a little homework before spending their money on bigger tires they don't need in the first place. A larger diameter tire will alway rob you of power because it increases your final overall gear ratio, less torque for making you go. Besides they can't need more ground clearance for their bike. Big tires are ego driven and anyone who buys without knowing the result before hand should pay for listening to their ego instead of their smarts.

 

well thats one opinion.

You might try a filter/jet kit with an aftermarket pipe. That will get a little bit of it back, but you're always going to have a decrease in power with the larger tire setup. The traditional sacrifice one thing for another scenario. You're also going to have a lot louder quad if you were to go the pipe route.

But I bet those tires look pretty good though!

 

Well thats nice but it doesnt do this guy a lick of good now. Not everyone is content to buy only what they need. If that was truly the case, most ute owners would have a 250 like you. The best we can do now is try to help him, instead of suggesting that he take a few hundred dollar hit on changing tires again.

Not everyone thinks before they purchase these things, and its not like purchasing tires from a dealer who knows whats best for your car or truck and what it can handle.

Besides, big tires look cool!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
