Gearing

[CTWilly]

04 800 Rev 144. What is better gearing for boondocking and ditchbanging. 19/45 or 21/45? I already have DJ Clutch kit and a few other mods.

May I ask what kind of track speed doo you see running this gearing, I am running a 19-45 and only see about 38 mph when in decent snow climbing. Dino

I run 19/45 in my 154 XP and have not seen a noticable difference in speed. I'm not a rip across the lake guy though so who knows. If you like speed the 21 tooth gear is what you want. Going to a 19 just gives you a little more torque but really its not a hugh difference.

track speed?????? the lower the gear ratio the faster it pulls up and keeps it... can't see the speedo..... stupid tac with speedo in the small area...

Went to a 20 tooth once , up the top speed by about 5 mph. Couldn't hold that speed while climbing...actually lost a couple mph climbing with the 20. Went back to the 19 . My point is track speed helps when your in the deep, the 20 worked well on the flats but the clutchs couldnt shift out. Sorry not a clutch guru. Dino

i was going to try the 45 again and see what it does from the 47...

i run 19/47 in my 174. so before that i ran 19/45 with a 151 and i found it to be the ultimate combo

i had the 18 45 in my 144, i liked it, but mine was also a 600sdi. i have the 19 45 ratio in my 800 151 and it works well, thinkin of doin the 19 47 tho...

reason being when i had my 600 i had belt issues, so i geared it down and it solved my problems. now i am having some of the same problems with the 800 and i have the secondary floated with a dj clutch kit and i've toasted 2 belts in 800 km.

so correct me if i'm wrong but going to a 19 47 should have approximately the same result as goin to a 18 45 in the 600?

i am just swapping out a 2006 800 151" track to a 162" track, just wonderin how much you have to gear down for the bigger track?

Gearing down gives track speed "Staying power"
