thanks for the input, but my bike has a 36 tooth and it can take off from a dead stop with very low rpms and it climbs 50 degree off road bumpy hills very well with the clutch pulled half way in, but on road i don't have to have the clutch half in, it climb any hill very well. my bike doesnt have any mods,besides two small holes in the baffle cap. it can keep up with cars on a main road and overtake them aswell.
your getting low rpms with the 36 because your straining the motor !!! the bike is trying to get up to speed to be in the range of the gear ... driving around like that is like driving around slow in high gear on a motorcycle !!! yup you will get low rpms and low power ! it pulls hills with the clutch half in because your slipping your clutch and reving it higher to compensate !!!
say good night sweet prince to your clutch pads !!!!!!!!!!!
if you want to pull hills its best to be in your target rpms for the right gear for the hill you wish to pull and have your clutch locked so it will not slip !!! and wear to pieces !!!!
again a 44 tooth will take off way faster than a 36 with a lot more power that is just science fact the 36 will out run it for speed though when the bike with the 44 reaches it max rpm you will reach yours at a higher speed
the point is you need to choose a gear that allows you to drive a your chosen speed at your engines rpm power band. you then need to adjust that to compensate for any hills in your aria... you should not ever runn the bike up hill with the clutch half in !!!! that means your bike motor does not have enough torque to spin the sprocket up the hill unless you rob the clutch of its already short lifespan !!!! with a 44t rear i can pull any hill ANY HILL in new england at any speed i choose with no bogging and never having to ruin my clutch !
imagine your on a motorcycle and you cant make it up a hill cause your rear sprocket is too small .... so what do you do? pull the clutch half in rev the heck out of it and smoke your clutch pulling the hill with the wrong sproket ? lol no wrong answer ! you swap out sprockets to a larger one and give it a test run if, garenty you with a larger rear you will pull the hill clutch out ! of course you loose a lil speed in order to gain that torque but that is simple mechanics, stop abusing your clutch ! lol
