gearing for wheelies

[98warrior]

right now my warrior is geared too high for the riding i do. i do a lot of wheelies and i can only pull 1st gear "power wheelies". 2nd doesnt have enough spunk. what gearing would i be able to pull 2nd gear "power wheelies" in? ty

I'm running 13-38 and have no problems. I had 12-38 but changed that out because she would just overrev all the time.

Edit: Oh yeah just thought I'd add that I'm running 20 inch rear tires

12 45....that will doit

 

[rbod]

hahaha. 12/45 should pull 3rd gear with any decent power.

I'm running 14/38 and can pull 3rd gear power wheelies all day. Can get 4th with enuff ass behind it.
Oh yeah I'm also running 20" rears.

16-40 But i dont do wheelies. my warrior will top out at 71 MPH

 

[98warrior]

well since you guys are running 20s in the rear and im running 22s...about what would i need with 22's? would a 12-40 do it or maybe a 12-41? i think a 12-45 , would be a little too low lol. also about what top speed would i have with a 12-40 or 12-41? oh ya ,my mods are listed in my sig.

Oops I was screwed up. I have 14/40 with 20" tires. Anyway, with the stock 22" and stock 13/40 gearing I could pull up 3rd gear on power with everything stock. Mind you it takes a bit of effort but it comes real easy once you get used to it.

dang ^^^^^ i think i have stock gearing maybe 13-39 i'll have to look, but any ways she wont pull up in 2nd using just power not clutch with my weight behind it {130lbs}. well i think im gona get maybe a 12-40 or 12-41 and try it.

 

[slamdam97]

yeah, i got about 80 lbs on ya. It helps at times.

20 inch rears, completley stock otherwise and i weigh about 145 and i can get 2nd gear with just power and a tug on the bars.

 

[98warrior]

yeah the 22's are killing me...but i need the ground clearance.

 

[chad021]

i still could pull on ok wheelie with my stock 22's, but i honestly did not find that much of a difference/ problems with ground clearance when I dropped down an inch.

I run stock gearing and 22's and can pull up in 3rd
