LADYJ- I was listening to you take off and it sounds like you are too tall geared, for those tires. I wonder if you are infact slipping your clutch and just building too much heat. If you did not regear for those tires you may want to. If you have regeared, I bet we could open it up and find a failed/failing part.
Oh, I have a tomahawk and a hammer. It will split wood, but 5 cords is way too much. United Rentals rents them, but I have know clue of the duckets.</end quote></div>
So I am running 13/40(I think), and I am too stupit to think to check my gearing. [IMG][/IMG] I have run 13/41 since I got the quad, but don't think I really hashed out my gearing properly after the motor build. Now that you point that out, I am missing low end grunt alot and have to keep RPM's high. Hmmmmm....
Oh, and I found a log splitter to rent in Arlintown and the guy will give it to me over the holiday for the one day price of $65. Should make that chore do-able. [IMG][/IMG] WELL worth the money.</end quote></div>
get 42 or 44 for the back and 12 for the front.. what the heck you need to go 70mph for? 60 is plenty fast.. ya spend most your time in 2nd or 3rd anyway
As forthe spliter.. You still gotta lift each round. and possibly half.. vs no lifting the heavy pieces and just swingin a maul.. I guess if you got some awnry wood then the splitter is handy. but alder and fir is one swing splitters. Line em all up. like 10 rounds and Just spin around and chop chop chop..</end quote></div>
Stock is 14/40. I think the last time I was dinking with gearing was when the head gasket blew so I never really went back and putzed with it. I believe I stuck with 40 or 41 because anything larger wouldn't fit under my skid plate. Not really an issue any more since I can't find a rear skid for the new swingarm. I have a brand new 41T rear sprocket and a selection from 13 up to 15t for the front.
Gearing has never really been my thing, I just learned to ride it how I had it. Time to learn better. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
THANKS for the suggestions. And if the gearing doesn't help, I will take you up on the teardown help. Dang thing just needs some TLC from me. That, and suspension, carb, STEERING Dampner...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] I love this "hobby" of ours.
Yeah, I am not nearly in the kind of shape you are, and these are some huge rounds. I am strong enough I will be able to lift most of them, but it's been taking some good old fashioned effort to break apart each one. Just too much to get done in a short amount of "free" time and we are already almost done with August. So some gas powered muscle will be very advantageous [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
