UH Gearing

After driving 5000 km in 3 weeks, I found out that highways isn't that bad after all. But when i run at 110 km/h the engine rews a little more than I think it should, and therefore I was thinking about changing the gearing. I run with a standard 22 teeth sprocket now.

Any experiences and/or suggestions? 24, 25 or 26 teeth?

Are you asking about the engine or transmission sprocket?

24/24 is nice all the way around.

I've run a 23T engine sprocket and 25T transmission sprocket for years with no problems. Dropped the rpms dramatically and thanks to flathead torque will even take off in 3rd gear from a dead stop.
(Keep an eye on the rear chain adjustment; the 25T gets pretty close to the oil tank. I rigged up a small nylon shoe to act as a guide and prevent flopping in this area.)

Thanks guys

Gotta be carefull not to chop holes in the oil tank. I need that one!

Is there any difference, wether I gear on the engine sprocket or the transmission sprocket?

KRAZY LOOP,I concur that's what we used to run years ago,there's no reason it shouldn't work now. BREWSKI

23/25 and 24/24 are almost exactly the same, 3.27:1 for 24/24, 3.28:1 for 23/25. Assuming a present engine sprocket of 23T and tranny is 22, your present ratio is 3.72:1. If you've a 24T engine, it's 3.57:1. You're really going to have to change the countershaft sprocket to get it geared up to a nice cruising RPM range.
Just my .02 worth.
