quadracer gearing

OhioLT250R · #1 (**permalink**) 08-02-2004

I was wondering what kind of gearing you guys like on your quadracers. I'm not sure what I have now, but my quad tops out at 72mph with 22" tires. I dont really need that much top end, I want optimum pickup. I have a 12-42 gearset to put on and I was wondering if I need to get smaller tires too.

I was running a 12/42 on my 86 and switched to a 12/39 for more top end. the 12/42 was to much low end for the kinda riding i do. I would do is spin and when i got traction it was time to slow down. I did like to low end of the 12/42 though.

What size tires were you running?

I have 20X11X10 on it. I love the smaller tire. I run the badlands. They are like the Holeshot.

hey what u think of itp holeshot mx 18x11x10? cuz i just ordered those to go with my beadlocks

I like the looks of the mx holeshot but the 18's are a pretty short tire. Are you going to put them on the blaster. You might have to change your gearing though. I had a problem with all the wheel spin so i had to regear it for more topend to reduce wheel spin. Just couldn't get my power to the ground.

on my lt250 right now there are turf tamers on an 8" rim the turfs are 18" tall and they are nice but 1 tire leaks

and i love the mxrs on my blaster so i thought ill get some holeshot mx to throw on my 10" beadlocks,o ya i dragged my dad on his z400 last night,it has a slip on and holeshots on the back,its about 3/10 of a mile drag and a wipe him every time,i even gave him a head start and stil blew by him

i love the 250cc 2 stroke power,DOWN WITH 4 POKES!!!!haha

I was looking at getting 18" tires with the 12-42 gears, but from the sound of it that will be too low. I am looking to possibly race MX, but most of my riding is in the woods.

Does anyone know what the stock gearing is for the 86 LT250R?

suzuki LT250R · #10 (**permalink**) 08-03-2004

Well i really like my 20's with the 12/39. I ride trail and some track too. It is just that the 12/42 was to low for me.
