Listen to this man. Shift kits do not make your bike faster.A shift kit doesn't increase your theoretical top speed, it can actually lower it because of added drivetrain losses.
That said, you should be able to hit 35, maybe even 40 with a shift kit depending on your bike's gearing.
Adapters exist that allow both a sprocket and brake rotor to mount there. Who's selling em right now, I don't know, but they do exist.The rear disc brake assembly is located where the rear gear from the engine kit would need to mount. So I'm not able to use the engine kit on my bike without a shift kit.
you dont need a shift kit, go for a 36 tooth sprocket, i live in a sorta hilly sorta flat area and the 36 is suiting me fine, my top speed ranges from 50-60 km/hr . No lies, i do have a NT SPEED CARB but when i had the stock carb on i could keep up with my brother, now that i bought the NT speed carb and installed it, we both pull the same till we reach max rpm then he starts going at least 5 to 10 km/hr more... kinda pissing me off atm. Waiting for a nicer day to work on it.. gas is cold when it gets on your hands in the winter. ^_^My bike is pretty light weight (Trek 4300) and I'm a buck 35. I should be able to cook with a shift kit.
I have disc brakes. I am not able to mount a gear on the left hand side of my rear wheel. Therefore, I need a shift kit.you dont need a shift kit
so lose the rear rim , i off road like a dirtbike with only front disc brakes, im good. it all depends on how you feel tho.I have disc brakes. I am not able to mount a gear on the left hand side of my rear wheel. Therefore, I need a shift kit.
yes you can.... change out the back tire... to an original no disc brake.The rear disc brake assembly is located where the rear gear from the engine kit would need to mount. So I'm not able to use the engine kit on my bike without a shift kit.
I am aware of that option, but it's not one I'm interested in if I have other options.yes you can.... change out the back tire... to an original no disc brake.
