I'm running a China Girl, 66cc SD Stinger. I've got a 56t rear sprocket on the way. I was wondering if any one knows where I can find a smaller (9t) front sprocket?
I have no interest in shift-kits, as there is something to be said for simplicity.
Useing a smaller front sprocket would actually give a lower gear ratio than a larger rear, and between a 9t front and a 56t rear it should climb just about any hill with ease. Should also keep me closer to the 20mph law I'm currently blowing the doors off...
Also my recurring theme, engine longevity. If the motor isn't working so hard, it should last longer. Speed, or rather, the lack of it, is not a concern. I'm already close to twice my legal limit, and strangling the motor makes no sense to me at all.
What I'm getting at is, that I want the same power output from the motor, but about half the speed, while maintaining the simplicity of the drive train. A shift kit is not the answer due entirely to the fact that I view them as an unnecessary complication. The system works as is, I'm not going to start throwing monkey wrenches, I Just want to get up the hills and be somewhat closer to legal.
If I'm doing 40mph now how much will a 56t rear cut my top speed? I could probably get away with 25 and blame it on the motor running really good just then for some reason, or a hill or whatever, but I'd hate to get popped for criminal speed on a motorbike!
