Ok, so looking for some opinions on gearing. Here is my set up 86 short rod, 86 trans, stock jug 72.25mm bhp mx port, great bottom end, and arm ripping mid that I have never got to fall off the pipe on top, it still winds great on top.38mm pwk a/s,Vf2 reeds, esr trx6 pipe 01 cr250r ignition , 86 leanth swinger, 280 lb rider.
So before I had pj 38mm carb, and stock ignition, ran 14/38 and 13/38. 14/38, was good off the line, and topped out at 86.2 mph on police radar I liked it, but I loved the 13/38 better. Jumped off the line a hell of a lot harder, and still had a great rev out and toped out at 82.6 mph on the same radar.
Now with the carb change, and ignition change, I tried the 13/38 only for a short run and with feilds in, really have no where to test what I like better. The 13/38 seems to unbelievable from a dig, and being a big boy, I love it. My concern though about it is how fast the cr ignition revs.
I'm a recreational rider, so it doesn't have to jump so hard off the line, but I do pick a lot of races, and with the extra weight like the holeshot of the gearing. I do climb a lot of hills, and am concerned that with the 13/38 the shift points will be too close, and think the 14/38 would be better in that area, giving me a little longer for the shift points. I also do a bunch of woods riding, and like how hard and fast the 13 pulls out of the corners.
Would I sacrifice a bunch of my bottom end going to the 14, or will the 14 feel more like the 13 did before I changed carb and ignition.
It does feel with the new ignition and the 13 like it hits harder off the line than it did with the stock ignition but may be all in my head. So I just wonder if going with the 14 it will seem more like it did before with the 13 and stock ignition. If that makes any sense at all, lol.
