Lt50 Gearing
My young son has started riding our old Suzuki LT50. The problem is that as the bike is getting a little tired the throttle limiter has to be out a little further than I would like to be able to haul him off from a standstill - but once it gets going it is faster than I want. I thought about buying new front and rear sprockets to give it more go initially but to lower the top speed. Has anyone done this and if so where can i get the parts?
Cheers, Nick

That should be a good start. If you need a little more, go one tooth smaller in the front. Hopefully you will have enough chain slack to run the bigger sprocket. You may want to look into removing ( if you havent already ) the exhaust restrictor. When I removed ours it gave the bike a lot more low end power. The difference to the over all preformance with it and the carb restrictor removed was night and day.

I'm having a heck of a time finding anyone that carries sprockets for these little things...
I tried to contact WRH but no luck.
I have the same problem of sluggish takeoff, and way too fast on the top end. Gearing would make a huge difference if I could just find a parts supplier.
Any ideas?

suzuki / kawi 110's use the same rear sprockets on the "older" 84-87 LT50's, thats what we run. Also remove the pilot jet restrictor .38 size that piggy backs the stock sized 15 pilot. I have my boys race bike (86 LT50) on C-12 race fuel with motul 800 mixed at 40:1, 15 pilot, 67.5 main jet, 2.5 turns out on the screw. Gearing varries from 11-16 on the counter shaft to 33-37 on the rear. It has a uni filter and a Graydon pipe. This little bike rips!
