The motors are connected with a jackshaft double sprocket and both run independently. All gears were takin out except 2nd.xtremeslide wrote:I watched the video with RPeterson riding the CR 1000,have some of you guys more info about how this bike was made,transmition,etc...
Maybe because 4th is physically bigger and stronger to handle the abuse? Just change the final gearing. Throwing out ideas, but there is always a reason. I could ask Ken and see what he says. Besides it has always peaked my interest when guys mod there transmissions like this.Roostius_Maximus wrote:2nd gear makes more sense than 4th like hamilcrf runs

If your trying to save alot of rotating mass 2nd is the way to go.
Thanx for the info. Could you maybe post up a pic of a modified trans for us to see?Roostius_Maximus wrote:2nd gear would only require 3 gears and one shifter fork, and its ALOT stronger gear than 4th that needs 5 gears or custom spacers and 2 shifter forks. but the contact width is 70% of 2nds.
