N stands for number of teeth.

I wont be doing any HWY rides over 10 or so miles, just around town at low speeds, so I wanted less gears to mess with... Hmmm I wonder if I cant just remove 5th gear... Let me see !

I know, but I hate having something just hanging out when its not of much use... I will be looking more into blocking it out.... may grind the teeth off of one and add a flapper to the other to sling oil around better, kinda like the connecting rod in a Briggs motor !

I dont know yet.... looks like I will be replacing the bearings while I'm in it.... it set so long the bearings have pits in the lower curves of them and when cleaned and you roll them, they catch a little in spots, not totally smooth rolling ya know... I'll see how much they cost, may even up grade if I can ?

Reply #21 - 08/10/09 at 12:02:11 4th will get you up to 75 mph at 5500 rpm. But I wouldn't disable it, you never know when you might want it. And the 4 speed will get you up to the same speed as the 5 speed. So what are you saving by disabling it? Nothing. What are you loosing it? The right gear for cruising on the freeway.

I cant see how any of the gears can be swaped to any place, they are all a little diff with the dogs and shift fork grooves !

I have taking them apart and try'd 3 times and dont see it happing.

Would need to find someone with a CNC Mill and make a set ? Roll Eyes
