I have the 5 speed and only weigh 150lbs, so maybe that is why the 17/43 works great for me. It sounds perfect and is not lugging or over reving at 25-30 mph in 3rd gear. What is nice is the fact that you can change the ratio to fit your needs with the chain conversion. Hutch

If I recall correctly, on my DT175 it was:
loosen rear axle, slide wheel foreward slightly
remove nut on countershaft, remove cog from shaft
remove chain from cog, place new cog on chain
place chained cog onto countershaft, replace/tighten nut
adjust rear wheel back to snug the chain and tighten.

Its 5 gears model.
Look at the gap betwen 2 and 3 gears
Here is picture of original gearing, 16/43 change app,10% and that made the original 5gear to 4 now, I have an extra gear
