I don't know what you're talking about. I can get my Warrior right up to the rev limiter in 6th gear. Engine mods give more POWER, which can only get you up to your top speed quicker. To get more top speed you either have to make your engine rev higher, or change your gearing.

You are wrong. You ain't pulling 9000rpm in 6th on your Warrior. But if you bigbore it and give it more HP and possibly a lighter rotating assembly it might and then you would have....MORE TOP SPEED!

trailbreaker, you make a statement I've seen several times here but it's definitely WRONG. Engine mods will result in higher top speed. Simply put your motor will not have the power to pull the same RPMs stock as properly modified. My Rappy pulls much higher top speed now than it ever did stock. It revs higher and has significantly more torque even though it's geared down. Yup, geared with a 12t countershaft sprocket and stock rear sprocket it's MUCH faster than ANY stock raptor could be. Gear it any way you want a stocker wont have the power to turn it fast enough. You have to overcome weight, rolling resistance, wind resistance and many other factors. YOU CAN increase top speed without a gearing change.

If you go down a tooth in the front or up in back you gain acceleration. If you go up a tooth in the front or down in back you should gain top end IF you have the HP to pull the numerically lower ( i.e....3.23 vice 3.55 - if that helps) ratio.........

But what if you do'nt have enough HP in stock form? Then if you go down a tooth you will have more acceleration as well as top end.

In my case the engine is far from stock. I run a 686 Raptor hi comp with a hi rev cam and porting. I can gear it down but be way faster than a higher geared stock machine. If you take a Warrior and up the compression, port it, and a hi rev cam you will gain top end speed for sure. Even geared down it should gain top end. No warrior will hit a rev limit in 6th gear with stock gearing. There's just not enough HP available.

However when you go down a hill you will hit the rev limiter.
Is it bad if I drive my trx250 full pin in 5th? Will it blow?

the way i learned it with cars is if you have a 4.11 rear end, youll be quick. if you have a 3.73, youll be fast. if you want a 411 to keep up with the 3.73 youre gonna have to increase engine top rpms. This is what 45auto said earlier. its basic math. unless you have a torque converter that changes everything. but stable gear ratios really dont have a curve. if you want it to go faster, rev it tighter or change the gearing. I think we're all on the same page, just expressing it differently.
