Why would you want to take it out? Can they really be that hard to make?

the gear split between 4-5 is too large for sand or anythign but fire roads, hard pack.
which works NICE.
but I always seem to want a gear between the two.
its a big jump to go from riding around in 4th (or racing) at around 65mph, to. roughly 90 to over 110mph in the power. some times you just want to do 80.
I like a bike geared to 15/45 with stock gears better than the big jump
od is great for.
-clicking in on a big long straight and SAILING past everyone at about 110.
- setting land speed records
- street use. (idle downt the freeway.)
-It sucks if you want a tranny that makes scense and works under normal riding conditions.
WOODS GUYS WOULD LOVE IT. could gear WAY DOWN. and still have a decent 5th
to make the K5 tranny truly wide ratio, somone needs to come out with a LOWER 1st gear, and split up 2 and 3 differances. so the overall gearing can be bumped up, to the same level as the over drive, with nice tight ratio jumps like the stock trans...
or. make a 6speed out of a husqvarna or husaberg fit. :evil:

That would be cool but you would have a hard time making it work...
But if you want to try I have a 6 speed Husaberg gear box, shift forks, drum, ect...
