Hi, I don't really understand to much about how the gearing thing goes, my question is, what performance changes does 17/49 gearing give me above the stock ones ??(TOP/LOW end etc..) Aloha y'all

First thing you have to know is WHAT GEARS are in there now. Then you can decide whether you want more UMP starting off and getting up to speed or you want more top end.
Now you also have to take into consideration the power a motor makes. If you put in too tall of gears for top end it may not reach those speeds because the motor cannot pull them.
Gearing taller for a stock motor I always recommend only going 2 up and 2 down otherwise it will be sluggish getting up to speed. For every 1 gear up and 1 gear down you can expect around a 3mph gain. So if your current gears are say 13/40 and you go 15/38 you can expect anywhere from 6-8 mph gain on your top end DEPENDING on your motor.

You may not even notice any topend gain just a slower takeoff in some cases with a stock engin and taller gears.

gear upgrade without a big bore kit is a huge mistake

Thats def my opinion also. I went up 2 and down 2 to 15:38 with a 58.5 bbk which is only 1.5mm bigger than stock. And with th other mods i jave just enoigh power to turn them enough to see a gain in mph. I got about 3 mph top end after the new gears. My stock engine would not have had the power to give the taller geats a purpose. Well im not sure what purpose a geat would have but gears do surve a purpose. Lol

Lol  Right on geh, my scoots got some other goodies, its not bone stock. I was just wondering what more, some gearing would help me pull out of this little motor. |
