Increasing Torque...

[rdaly09]

I am not mechanically inclined in any way, and have recently migrated from the Sportbike world into a Supermoto. It's a Chinese Konker KSM200. Having gone from riding 750cc and 600cc Sportbike's to the 200cc Konker, I am certainly accustomed to having a lot more torque. I know that I will never achieve the same sort of torque out of a 200cc engine, but can someone give me some tips on how I can achieve more torque, whether low end or not.

I would ideally like to achieve more torque through some mods. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

You could give a larger rear sprocket a shot. That may give you the hit you are looking for.

Check out the JT Sprockets gear chart: http://www.jtsprockets.com/fileadmin/files/jtgearratio.pdf

The lower the gear ratio, the higher the number. You'll really feel a seat of the pants difference if you go from around 2.86 to around 3.33. You can't get that torque for free; you'll lose some top end.

As well, make sure the rest of the system is optimized. Make sure that the intake and exhaust system are as efficient as possible, and consider and aftermarket CDI with a more agressive ignition advance.

Cone filter and a rejet made a bit of a difference on my Saga.
