How to Gear reduction 82 200 engine in 200e for more torque?

[jeswinehart]

As I recall, I did not need to modify the chain or take the link apart just loosen/take up the slack via the adjuster.

All i can find is the rear drive sprocket pretty sure its 4 teeth less. Is that just too ridiculous? And where did you get your primary sprocket jesswinehart?

Wow thanks barnett468 that is exactly what i was looking for!

And what beer do you recommend im stumped.

That’s an easy one!

4 teeth on the rear is around the equilivant of 1 tooth on the front, however, a SMALLER rear spkt will REDUCE bottom end and INCREASE top end.

And where did you get your primary sprocket jesswinehart?

Bottom end being torque? And top speed?

Bottom end being torque? And top speed?

I don't know a better way to explain it but I'll try.

If you can go 10 mph in 1st now with the throttle wide open at max engine rpm's, you might go 7 with a 4 tooth bigger rear or 1 tooth smaller front, or maybe 13 with a 4 tooth smaller rear or 1 tooth bigger front.

If you want to pull 50 cases of Saint Pauli girl up a hill, you want a bigger rear and/or a smaller front sprocket.

Perhaps it's best if you wait until AFTER you change the gears before you start drinkin.

Ok, sorry, just couldn't help myself.

Torque is torque and the only part that you can change is applied torque.

In this case, "bottom end" means more applied torque at low speeds.

Top speed means top speed, or, the fastest speed the machine will achieve.

Larger rear sprocket, more applied torque at low speed/mph at any given RPM.

Smaller rear sprocket, more top speed, less applied torque at any given RPM.

Top speed gains are restricted by wind resistance and actual torque and horsepower at any given RPM in top gear, so there's a limit to his small you can go and still see gains in the peak mph.

4 teeth larger in the rear will equal more applied torque in any gear at any rpm. 4 teeth would be very noticeable.

At some point, going too big will be useless and detrimental to the engine as it will be hard to operate it without being in the upper rpm range all the time.

Also, too small, new chain needed. Too big, new chain needed.

OMG, Now there's TWO of us. Please kill me!
