Wheels question

[aubryblaster97]

okay, i know imma get alot of "no dont do that it" responses but could somehow i run 25x10x12s on the back of my warrior? my friends mom bought some extra tires for my friends foreman and she said i can have them if i can use them. the tires are kenda executioners. im willing to do about anything

You can run em as long as you can gear it right for that big of a size. If the gearing is not right it will be hard on the motor and for surely burn up ur clutch real fast

 

[aubryblaster97]

what kind of gearing would it be though?

I have no clue, you'd prob have to experiment with it, but it would have some good ground clearance

 

[aubryblaster97]

i was thinking "project mud warrior"

 

[aubryblaster97]

38 with a 15 front?

That gearing would be more for a 446 motor with 20's... Maybe a 12 and a 43 or 44 tooth... Not sure, theres gotta be some kind of gearing calculator somewhere

start with a 11 tooth front sprocket and see how that goes, if it's still slugish go to a bigger rear srpocket (like a 42,43,44, or bigger). Chain and both srpockets should be changed at the same time beacuse they all wear together. But if you buy a front sprocket 1st which is the cheapest and just give it a test run it will be ok to reuse

By the old thread on getting a rough calculation, a 12/42 with 25" tires is just about the same as factory gearing.

The calculation is front sprocket divided by the back sprocket times the tire height. So stock gearing of 13/40 with 22's is 7.15 and 12/42 with 25's is 7.1428. If ya wanted a little more torquey feel go 11/42.

whoa whoa whoa those wont work unless you got a set of 12" wheels for the rear sorry bub but if you had 25x10x9s they would work

 

[1998yamahawarrior]

12" rims can probably be made to fit, he'll just have to take his time drilling holes. Ive though about finding something like that just for mudding.

 

[aubryblaster97]

whats the warrior bolt pattern?

 

[1998yamahawarrior]

rear pattern is 4/115

 

[aubryblaster97]

works out perfect then, i can get itp delta steel rims and run them in the back

My Warrior had 25's on it when I got it,..... Believe it or not it wasn't that sluggish. I'd try just a 12 in the front & see how ya like it. I went from those 25's to 20" holeshots & yeah it was a good bit of difference in how quick it revved but I wouldn't call it lazy with the 25's. They really had a kinda flat tractor like tread on em & weren't much bigger in size than a set of stock 22" balloons. I guess it depends on the tire some.
