Gilera 4V project
well I got another pressie today courtisy of a fellow member of the sports moped forum. a 5 speed seized engine I'm hoping that left cover will fit mine as that will save me £50 for a new one, or if your daft, £100 for 2nd hand on eBay I'm off Friday and Monday so hope to strip it down and see what I have. Already I can see an unrestricted inlet worth at least £20 Off to pick up some zinc from Unity in Oldham tomorrow morning before work (they open at 5:30am)

SR250 gear ratio change info (12-41)
so you want to lower the engine revs for the same speed? put a 13 on the front BTW you can get sprockets made, not really a big deal, JT's in Wales do them and I'm sure there's someone stateside

SR250 gear ratio change info (12-41)
lowering your gear ratios overall will raise the revs! you want a higher gear on the front sprocket ie 12 up to 13 teeth or lower on the rear ie 33 to 32 teeth that will lower the engine revs for cruising A taller front sprocket is better as the chain will have a longer circumference to go round and have an easier life. 1 tooth on the front also = about 3 teeth on the rear.
