You have the same gears. Put in some bigger jets and a freer flowing pipe. That puppy will run better.
Greg, my bike only had 100 miles on it when it got the Jardine muffler,152.5 main,55 pilot and KN drop in filter, and no mod needed to the white spacer cause it pull like he11. Pilot screw out 1and1/2 turns. No backfires just a nice crackle on decell. The first thing I do to every bike I have ever owned, including my first bike,Honda Sport 50, was to put a pipe on and rework carb and make it breathe, once that was done I played with the gear raios to suite my purpose. Some bikes I even had whole tire and wheel/sprocket assemblies set up for a quick swap to run trail, or run the street, just like I did with my hot rods. It now has 2000 miles on it. It pulls trough town(25MPH in 5th) with no need to down shift to have plenty of accel once it is out of town., but like I said it is screaming bloody murder at 80MPH and wide open , no throttle left, it's done. ELFINE. NADA.
ALSO, for every tooth you add or subtract off the rear sprocket there will be a change of 2.5%. I added that to the two charts on the first page so the info is all together.
