More info needed like pipe, carb, type of bike, variator brand and weights, and your weight. You only get out what you put in.

Re: 66cc bbk. which gears would be best for me to get
Doesn't sound like your setup is too aggressive. I would stay in the 10:1 or 9:1 gear ratio range. Anything less, and I don't think you'll have the power to pull the topend. Better off getting excellent acceleration and 50-55 mph in a hurry.

I was hoping for 50 mph but wasn't sure it was possible w/ my setup.sanjuro wrote:Doesn't sound like your setup is too aggressive. I would stay in the 10:1 or 9:1 gear ratio range.

Greetings:
Your Main is thr right size for 50cc. Stock airbox 85 minimum. 90-ish or more for a pod filter.
9:1will run ~58 with enough power. Taller gears only sacrifice 0-10 if the variator is tuned correctly., but 8.4s probably won't be any faster except downhill.

If you live in a really hilly area I would do the 10:1 gears, but if most of your travels are on the flats, then 9:1 would be better.
Re: 66cc bbk. which gears would be best for me to get
there are a lot of hills here. so 10:1 would probably be best.sanjuro wrote:If you live in a really hilly area I would do the 10:1 gears, but if most of your travels are on the flats, then 9:1 would be better.
do you think 50 mph is possible w/ my set up and 10:1 gears?
Re: 66cc bbk. which gears would be best for me to get
I've done 58 mph with 10:1 gears using a MHR 72cc setup so 50+mph should be easy for you to do. You'll love that gearing when the road is twisty and hilly.

sweet. thanks for the info.sanjuro wrote:I've done 58 mph with 10:1 gears using a MHR 72cc setup so 50+mph should be easy for you to do. You'll love that gearing when the road is twisty and hilly.
twisty and hilly are basiclly every road around here
Re: 66cc bbk. which gears would be best for me to get
Why go to the trouble of the BBK and gears without modding the rest of the drive system? I found much better performance using a heavier torque spring and comparable clutch springs to help transfer the power to the wheel. Also, a better help than that was the polini (or other aftermarket) variator/front pulley and lighter, or stock, rollers. I figured I'd get all I could out of it. A performance exhaust almost definitely requires an increase in fuel intake, be careful about it. I Highly Recommend a tach/temp gauge to get an idea of what is going on, and learning about tuning a 2-stroke motor instead of coming here all the time with my questions and problems. Just a few suggestions for 'ya, maybe you already thought about all that. There's a lot of good experience on this site. Good Luck. Happy Trails!

Re: 66cc bbk. which gears would be best for me to get
Personally, I would get the taller gearing done first, and then get a better variator and tune the rollers to suit the gearing. Also, doing one thing at a time allows you to learn and see the differences in the setup. Eventually working your way up to a full array of complementary mods.
Re: 66cc bbk. which gears would be best for me to get
yep, 9 to 1 gears plus other tricks and you will ride 50mph all day long, i miss those days-all 29,000 mi. of them
some people dream of speed, i own your dreams!
Re: 66cc bbk. which gears would be best for me to get
I know about motors just not much about 2 strokes yet. that's why i joined this forum. the guys on this forum know a lot more than i do about 2 strokes so i figured if i had a question or problem i could ask them.bonesv wrote:Why go to the trouble of the BBK and gears without modding the rest of the drive system?
