close vs wide tranny
Posted: September 16th, 2012, 7:26 am
I haven't ridden a wide ratio bike so was wondering how much different it is.
I know there are several guys on here that either have or have had both.
The reason is, I went out yesterday for the first time this year (too hot) after cleaning up the jetting somewhat and ran out of gears.
Now, granted I wasn't on a tight trail but, I was surprised when I went looking for another gear.
Truthfully, with all the bikes I have this one unfortunately doesn't get as much ride time as it should, until now that is.
On a side note, this bike has been ported and a lot of other race stuff done to it, I really can't compare it to another 500, just my 480.
I let the local 500 hotshoe ride it and he was impressed.
He has a '94 model and can ride it.
I felt better about it throwing me off now.
