Well she is back together again.everything working great.I am blown away at the difference the 35 tooth sprocket made.I was riding in gear at like 45..motor purring,and thinking..this is not big difference..little did I know I had only shifted up to 4th gear...I hit fifth..and bam..70 no problem.
Now i am not gonna be doing 70 very much on this thing.. squirrely ride to say the least,and with thecondition of the roads,and this hardtail feeling every bump.. I think 45 to 50 will be just fine by me..but Knowing i can get there or out of the way is a good thing.
So my question is.. while riding in 4th gear at 45.. and shifting into 5th for a smooth 50.. the motot rpms are real low and sometimes when i slow..she feels too low on the rpm...my question... is it cool to just ride 4th gear for a long period,and go to 5th when i need to or not at all? This gear sorta makes fifth more like an over drive gear.
