I have an aftermarket countersprocket cover (don't think it is any larger than stock.)

Will a 17-tooth front fit on with the cover there?

Can I run a 17/40 with the stock chain (is it long enough?)

I am thinking a 17/40 or 17/39 combo would be the best for Dumont.

 

i think taller gearing is better and with second gear starts. you get more wheel speed and ground speed before first shift.

i had to file the stock aluminum case saver when i used a 17 tooth front sprocket. the stock chain guard itself is not too close.

i think you can run 17/40 with stock chain.

 

Yes you can run 17/40 with the stock chain. I have done it before. I removed the case saver long enough to try the gearing though.

 

Hey Guy's,

Got back yesterday afternoon but was to lazy to get on the net. Nice to meet all of you that I met. well my bike was running lean, I pulled a plug sat. morning and it was white, so I put the stock endcap back on, sat. night was out on a ride with a bunch of kids, and kept hearing this clunking noise from the front of the bike but could not find it. Well I found out what it was on sun. morning I popped the front end up in camp and when I came back down I heard a clunk again got off and looked and the right front shock was bent in and touching the frame, fully extended and the shaft had about a 45 deg. bend in it. So it looks like it's getting works triple rates with rezzi's up front yeehaaw. thanks for the advice on jetting at the hill guys,
Tom

 

Sorry Mario. That was the only video I have of you racing the sparks Z.

 

wshrdskin - Didnt you have another video of me and Raptor03? We were almost dead even on the comp hill but the hill to the left I believe I pulled away much further. I just got to remember to bring my spare sprockets..... I had it set up for Pismo and totally forgot my parts. I was bummed but still had a great time with all of you. Hope to see you all again.

 

yea i have to give it to you bro we raced like a sob....trading the wins and had a great time....later dude..

 

I just put up a video of you and Sam pretty even at the top of the hill. It was the hill on the right though. I didn't get any video of anyone but Mario and the sparks bike on the left hill.

 

Dave did you ever get any videoes of me and your son flying up the hill.

 

In your rail? No, I didn't have the camera at that time. I'll have to get some of your rail next time. Sweet ride for sure. We thank you for taking us for a spin. Did you get your one way fixed? Want to see that Raptor run.
