Re: Rear gear
All I can tell you is on a stock CC going to high speed gears got me exactly 10mph more for a total of 28(via gps), hitting the governor on that cheesy flathead they used, completely stock cart otherwise. Most carts say about 10+mph more maybe 28 to 40 with 22" tires, but if you run more rpm than stock that will be more speed.

Re: Rear gear
Do you know what ratio you had original 12 to 1 or 10 to 1 and did you go with 6 to 1

That would assume direct drive 10000 shaft RPM at the transaxle. at 3:1 is 3333rpm to the wheels. 23" wheel covers approx. 6ft per rotation. 6ft x 3333= 19998 ft per min. 19998 / 5280 = 3.79 miles per min. 3.79 x 60minutes = 227 Mph That's theoretical assuming no wind resistance or other drag and enough HP to get there. That would be a 3:1 rear gear with 1:1 Transmission drive ratio. |

Re: Rear gear
I think stock G9 gears are 10.92 once you figure the .8 overdrive of the CVT and 13.65 trans ratio. 6.3mph per 1K rpm with a 23" tire, my 22s measure 23 at 15psi some don't. So I must be running 4800 rpm on the road to hit 30mph, or more if the tires are not quite 23"....with the stock engine....unless I figured that wrong. I used to know what my rpm was but forgot and my tach does not want to work anymore (digital clamp on). Guy told me to loosen the exhaust lash for a little more rpm I still have to try that on the clone (only doing 28 last time I tested it with the richer jetting than it has now) and might as well on my stocker. I climb some steep hills not sure I'd want big gears, would be fun in open spaces though.
