I am working on a course that does not provide the answer I am looking for. The question is how to increase torque at the rear wheel in all gear ranges? Is it just a change in the rear wheel sprocket or is it a change in the primary drive gear or even a change in the counter shaft sprocket. Any assistance would be appreciated. | ||

Kencupp: On a BUELL it is eaiser to change the COUNTER SHAFT SPROCKET ... Two teeth less(from stock) on the counter shaft is all that "i" would recommend ... Why ??? EXAMPLE: Droping the gearing results in having to turn the engine more revolutions to go the same distance ... ie: you go 5 miles and the engine goes 10 miles in RPMs ... Anymore questions, Ljenne73c@verizon.net In BUELLing LaFayette | ||

Longer stroke. Larger bore. Smaller front pulley or sprocket. Larger rear pulley or sprocket. Smaller tire diameter. Less tire pressure up to a certain point. | ||

The reason I am asking is because I am taking a motorcycle repair course and the question is part of the prac app portion. The only choices listed are those in my first post, however, the text does not contain any info regarding increased torque. So I figured this would be the best way to find out. Thanks ken | ||

For the purposes of that question, the answer would be "all of the above." | ||

Ding,ding,ding,give the man a cigar. My thoughts as I read that also. | ||

Ken, the question is somewhat ambiguous the way you word it. If that's how the question is put to you the simple answer is 'increase the motors efficiency and or alter the gearing'. Rocket | ||

This is the exact question and options listed in the book. A technician wants to increase the torque produced at the rear wheel in all gear ranges. Which of the following changes will produce this result.(I can only pick one) A. Replace the primary drive with a larger diameter gear. B. Replace the clutch outer with one having a smaller diameter. C. Replace the counter shaft sprocket with one have a larger diameter. D. Replace the rear wheel sprocket with one of a larger diameter. I guess I should have just been more specific the first time. sorry. | ||

D is the ONLY correct answer. | ||
| Fullpower |
all the other given choices would raise the overall gearing, and reduce the net torque available at the wheel. | ||
| Spike |
Definitely D. | ||

Thanks for the help. I will keep you all in mind if I run into another stump. Thanks Ken |
