Ok i have a 02 viper with a 53/43 helix green spring, what would be the best gearing setup i can doo for hol eshot and what about top end with out changing my chain. Can i run like 20/40 or will a 20/38 be better.



So basically what different gear combo's have you guys done with out changing the chain.

how far can i go and down with both gears, im new to gearing so anything helps, just dont want to buy a bunch of gears the find out i only want one.


thanks jay

sorry aceleration, but also what would be good for top end.

JUst wanted to know what would be best with my clutch work.
 
If top end is really important to you i wouldn't gear down more than one tooth on the stock viper gearing. If it were mine i would leave the gearing stock. If you have the stock track, traction will be a problem with stock gearing, let alone if you gear it down.
 
0 to 90mph i smost important to me, as i pretty much only trail ride and ditch bang, bu tdo hit the ocassion al lake, but my buddys got a srx so rather smoke him in the trails sense i have no chance on the lake unless i pipe.

I am planning on getting a 1" hacksaw or preditor, for now im gona have 240studs in my stock track.

so for best aceleration how far can i go without changing my chain. I dont mind losing a couple mph on the top.
 
can i gear down to lets say 21 and gear up to 39 with the stock chain, and will it make that much of a difference in whole shot
 
240 studs is WAY overkill for that sled, 144 is much closer, 168 at most is MORE than enough.
 
thats what i was thinking but, I have 144 now down the middle, but my buddy has 96 studs and backers 1.075 that he is gona give me, so if there free, i ran 192 on my sx700 with a preditor track and loved it.

after spending a couple hours reading previous searches on this, man i love this site and all the info there is here, I think im gona start with just going down a tooth on the top, and maybe after that goig up a tooth on the bottom, gears are pretty cheap so I guess i go with trial and error.
 
I would leave the stock gearing. I tried several different combos, gearing down 1 or 2 teeth, gearing up one, and the best setups always worked better with stock gearing. 144 studs down the middle is more than enough.
 
with a stock viper i found stock or 23t was best for trail riding. if the srx is stock, no clutching, you can take him with a good setup on the lake.

tell me more, what should i do, his srx is fully stock besides a 1.25 preditor track.
 
yes and i believe i have some non hyvo gears and a 70L chain. much cheaper than HYVO gears. only difference is the hyvos reduce noise
