need help with gear setup for banshee what is good for speed

[SouperSport]

For higher top speed, you can go with a bigger gear on the front and/or a smaller gear on the rear (drive gears on the chain of course). Keep in mind, the bigger you go in the front (or the smaller you go in the rear) the more low end torque you'll lose (slower acceleration). Probably start with just a tooth or two difference.

Or you can just go with some slightly taller tires too... does the same thing.


Larger front gear/ smaller Rear = higher top speed/ slower acceleration (lower torque)
Smaller front gear/ Larger Rear = slower top speed/ quicker acceleration (higher torque)

(does not actually change the torque at the engine...just the torque at the drive wheels)


If you already have a "Monstrous Torquey Machine" then you might see improvement in acceleration as well because of the taller gear ratio (more speed per gear), but for the average machine you could lose some acceleration to gain top speed. It's a tradeoff... Acceleration or top speed. You usually don't get both...

EXCEPT...To improve acceleration AND top speed... Gear it for top speed, and add some more power to your machine.

Hope that helps... you can always play with the "speed calculator" on the "Other" tab at the top of the screen, too.

Good luck!

it is a banshee.......... fmf fatty pipes on power core 2,s ..jet-kit..k*n filter 20'' holeshot tires on back.......all in a new wisco motor...new crank.cool head..piston,s ...sleeves...all wisco...frame just stripper and powder coated ..that it so far$$$$$$$$$$$ front gear 13/42 so i like to speed it up so maybe 15 on front and 40 back will do it ......need 90+mph or like to hit that SpeedDogz...banshee all the way home

[flotek]

switch to a 14 front and keep back at stock size that should get you closer to 80mph or a 15 to hit 85mph ,to hit 90 + your gonna need some portwork for the power and even taller gearing to actually hit those high a numbers.

[370banshee]

yeah 90mph is not easy to come by and still have a quad that fun to ride... goto stock gearing 14/41 try that you'll be right close to the 75-80 range.. oh why exactly do youi neeed to go 90mph???

[SpeedDogz]

well i am setting up to smok a rapter660 so more the better i am told crapter sh..t

[370banshee]

theres no set up to beat a raptor.. if youi ahve a set of pipes and stock gearing you'll kill a raptor.. actually you can taek a bone stock banshee and beat a rapturd....

[SpeedDogz]

this guy said his raptor will go 100mph .........i said ya and hehehehhe when do you want to run...... but i still setup bike for speed..........cuz i am SpeedDogz banshee all the way home ......realy i had some motor sh..t to do so i just setting up to smok him anyway

[SpeedDogz]

so far new crank wiseco...pistons...wiseco....new sleves wiseco....new dynojet kit...K*N filter.new....13/42 gears....... new fatty pipes with power core 2 on it....TWIST THROTTLE KIT .mmmmmmmmmmm..and boyseen reeds on the way frame stripped... powder coated and every nut and bolt new 2 mo work so far... and when i get some $$$ it go,s on bike all most done maybe 2 weeks i have it running...........so craptor 660 move cuzzzzz banshee here nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww SpeedDogz banshee all the way home

[$evy]

hahaha 100 mph raptor my ass, its gotta be all gearing to get them to do that much...I've heard of them going like 90 with taller tires and a new front sprocket...but it sure does take a while for it to get there
