    Default Gingerman Gearing

    Anyone have an idea of where to start with the Suzuki on gearing?

    Thanks!

    Tyler, i would drop -1 tooth front sprocket from the grattan setup, that will get you close, then fine tune with +/-1 tooth rear sprocket.

    Are you coming to gingerman on sept 17, full day open wheel practice.

    45/15(3:1) is a good place to start.

    Wait a minute- I thought Busby(Buz light year) bought your car. Now I am really confused....

    Huh, I guess it wasn't that tough of a question after all. Especially if you have a clue.

    Tyler is on his way to Laguna and my guess is the car will stay there until the Runoffs.

    MikeB, you are right, I got sucked in by Ragdog questions. I will abstain, you can answer octane questions, pretty soon you will be talking camber, tire pressures hahaha etc. Enjoy.

    I believe you Mr.Radrog, but it is humor and i'm relaxed. If you say you deserve sarcasm, laugh and roll with it. I take it back, I will help with sharing nb help and info, especially since we have similar fb cars. Thank you. JRM.

    Default gear for gingerman

    Tyler took his new JDR to a new track record at Gingerman and again at Gratten. Sprocket must have been close.
