swapping gears in hawk transmission
I watched a video on how a motorcycle transmission works and it looks like you should be able to swap the gears to change the ratio. I did a google search but didn't come up with much. Am I missing something or can you not just swap gears so I can have a low 1st but higher 5th?
I know I would be limited by the space available but even 1 or 2 teeth would help. |
your best chance would be to take the gears out and measure every part of them, and match up what you find in it to what you want to put in it
|
It's selection that would limit you. Your only real option is to tailor the final drive to meet your needs, even though it affects the entire range.
Another option is to drop in a transmission from an XR200R; you'd get six gears, but it's really only an extra gear sandwiched in between 2-3 or 3-4 (can't remember which). I haven't tried it yet, but I intend to. |

I guess I need a small master link tool any recommendations? |

When you reinstall the master link, ensure that the closed end faces the direction of chain travel.

I can tell you I had no idea it needed to go in the direction of travel. I will have to take a look at what I did.

when i was a kid, i had a kawasaki 85 that had two rear sprockets mounted on it, the larger with little coil over springs over bolts that would hold the smaller sprocket away from the larger, when using the smaller for road speed,, and pull the smaller in tight when you wanted to switch the chain over and use the larger for serious trail work. bike came with a masterlinked short section of chain to facilitate the switch. wonder if such a setup is made somewhere in china for these hondoids?
here, not the bike i had but close, look at the rear... http://motorbike-search-engine.co.uk...bikes/J1TL.jpg |
