We went up riding 9/4/11 (beautiful day for it) and I hit the sprocket ratio perfectly since for the most part on the trails it was in 3rd but on the open sandy road it would pull 5th gear and it was hauling butt, 1st and 2nd were good for climbing the hills.
I am very pleased at how it runs.
Now for the repairs I need to make to it since it has always had a bent left spindle and after colliding with a 3 wheeler on the trail which bent the left tierod end to an unusable angle.
Tagged a small tree stump which sent me off course a little, I recovered but looked back and when I looked forward there he was and with about a second or so to react there wasnt much I could do going around 25mph.
The trail was as wide as an ATV and rutted down, lined with tree stumps and saplings, I glanced off his 3 wheeler and fell over.
YES yes I was going a bit to fast but honestly I would have been going even faster if I wasnt waiting for my wife to catch up.
My left arm is swollen up and looks like popeyes arm.
I have those parts on the parts frame so that wont cost anything but time.
