Yet another gearing question
Foxx4Beaver:
oh man...you'd probably have to do away with the rear chain guide, or modify it for such a bigger sprocket. That's if you can even get a rear that big for the K5...anything's possible.
1980mcneil:
Yeah. I don't want to modify :/ don't want to rub on the front either.
So it sounds like the answer will be the 14 on front, and whatever the largest rear I can run. I'm also going to an 18" rim. Maybe I could run a slightly lower sidewall to get closer to my objective.
I'll do some more research on a 13 up front
Foxx4Beaver:
there's a few members you can PM for suggestions...zz3gmc, alward25, GREENKAW24.

the old wheelie king doug domokos use to use a huge back sprocket on a early 80s kx , so check that out , i would get a custom one made , i had one done for a different model that they didnt make one for ,they done it in alloy.
1980mcneil:
Don't think I'll go custom.
I've done some more research. Hoping I can run a 13 up front, 52 or larger in back. 18" wheel possibly smaller overall diameter.
Couple other things I've come across in my searching
1. 14oz stealthy fly weight. Will it work with the MZB/powerdynamo?
2. Heard of using up to 4 exhaust copper crush gaskets to help smooth power?
