Yes that is the oil pump gear, and yes it should turn the oil pump shaft. It is NOT an idler gear. If the gear turns, and the pump shaft doesn't, you have found your problem. Unfortunately, that...

Yes, it is simple math. But, the math you are leaving out is the resulting rpm. In your example, yes your drum has more torque, but at a sacrifice to its resulting rpm. Yes raising the gear ratio...

The Templar is a dirt bike with lights. No more, no less. It will ride, handle, feel like a dirt bike. It has a seat design for off road riding on purpose.

[QUOTE=Megadan;409536]Gearing does change the amount of torque at the rear wheel. That's what gear ratios do, divide rpm and multiply torque. Horsepower doesn't change because it is a function of rpm...

Well, we don't know that is the case. Thats why I asked what rpm he is running now. If he is too low in the rpm range in 2nd and 3rd, then use 1st and 2nd in those situations. Thats what gears are...

With the top end removed, are you getting oil coming out of the right rear head stud hole when spinning the engine over?

Gearing comes down to rpm. What rpm are you seeing when you feel you need more "bottom end power"? Changing the gearing isn't going to give you any more or less power, it just changes the rpm range...

Megadan's advice is sound. I'd pull the clutch cover first and verify there isn't an oil pump drive gear issue, but barring that you'll need to start taking off the top end to find where the...

You noted the engine was noisy upon starting it up (and not valve lash related). This suggests SOMETHING is making contact that shouldn't be. Could well be coil bind, and you can easily check that...

Lack of oil wouldn't cause a bent valve. Sounds like you are not adjusting the valves correctly, as this problem arose after your valve maintenance.

I, for sure, wouldn't run it until you get it fixed. I would finish removing the pipe where it's broken, tap the banjo fitting (where the pipe used to go) for a barb fitting (any hardware store has...

Yes, you will need to shorten the chain. If you have a dremel or grinder, it's an easy process.

None of those bikes will be happy running at 55 - 60 constantly. That's not what they are made for. As an example, my Titan DLX out of the box turned 7000 rpm at 45mph. Not to mention, they have...

A cam with that much lift and duration will def get you more top end, but it will come with a significant loss of low end torque. Which is a shame as that's what the 223 was built for, and where it...

Raise the needle (drop the clip). This is the most likely cause. If you don't know what that means, there are tons of videos on the tube to show you how to do it.

100% agree. The only tire that works in mud is a knobby. There's just no getting around it. Unfortunately knobbys suck on pavement, but you can't have both.

On the pics linked from the RPS website, you can easily see it's still the pushrod engine. The cam gear bolt is clearly visible in the cylinder, as well as the lack of a cam chain tensioner.
