Yes you're on the right track. Just because I wanted to keep track of what I was doing, I counted the teeth on my gears and compared the numbers to those in the parts catalog and wrote the count on a paper in the proper position. Then when I finished I re-counted to compare the count when crossed. Made it easier for me since I need all the help I can muster. Rusty

I did the same here. I also didn't want to un-X them in case it had allready been done. Did'nt get the pleasure to ride it before X-ing. By the sounds of it , I didn't miss much

I hope I don't sound stupid but are yaw talking about moving the gears from their original position in a x pattern and that makes a improvement in the way it shifts?

Yes that's correct. Changes ratio's. You'll find the exact numbers in the archives and more in depth details.

Hi fellas,

Regarding changing the gear ratio. I always liked the 3rd and 4th pretty close, since I did a lot of highway riding, and 3rd was the "passing gear" - just gave you enough power to get past a car, without dropping a whole lot. I guess it all varies with your type of driving. Now that I'm in the mountains, a different gearing might be better. I'll have to think about it.

x-ing gears. Any argument against?
