Hello & Merry Xmas,
I'm currently running the stock, 2.44:1(16/39), gearing in our long tracked(136" X 1.75") Indy Lite.
Being my son(9yrs / 100lbs) is riding this machine in the mountains, it is no surprise that we are finding the "big" track puts a pretty good load on the lil' 340.
According to the service manual 2.56:1(16/41) is lowest recommended combo for the 6.625" chain case. That said, the service manual lists P/Ns for 13, 14, & 15 tooth top sprockets.
Anyone have any experience running lower gearing combos such as 15/41, 14/41, 13/41?
IMO, being geared for anything over 45MPH in this application is too much.
Thoughts?
TIA
Glen
