Changed Final Drive Gearing 2013

[Randy B]

This was the result of pondering on my ride yesterday after reading this discussion and wondering about where the tone was headed lol

I'm not sure what I posted proves anything one way or the other, more a personal philosophy about how to use the transmission on a closed course with a specific goal in mind. My brother was a flat tracker and carried a stack of front and rear sprockets for different tracks, but again not sure that says anything about physics other than certain combos of gears worked better on one track over another track due to specific conditions.

Generally I know in drag racing you gear down for say an eigth mile or quarter mile run, but not sure how that relates to a given circumstance as in a 60- 80 mph one gear acceleration test.

This boils down to the torque curve of that particular engine and where it is in that torque curve so it have a large relevance to it actually.
If you have an engine near the top of the curve and starting to head down before reaching the desired speed and one with the same curve but in the meat of it and won't drop off then it would be reasonable to presume that the second one was out accelerate the first is this given situation.

I dunno...I could be over analyzing this or just plain over thinking it due to lack of sleep. Man my sleep schedule is so far out of whack............ugh.

Carry on.
