Very unusual to have two gear reducing systems. That might explain your wheelie action.
not sure what you mean but please help me figure out my wheelie action i need some help i got the driven driving a 18 tooth sprocket to a 20 tooth to a 10 tooth and the final sprocket is 54 tooth gimme some input:scared::confused:

Its looking pretty good:thumbsup:. Changing the front wheel should help it a lil..but with a belt drive and that motor..the front will come up kinda easy no matter what.

have you try'd swapping the 18 tooth for the 20?54/10=5.4x(20/18=1.11)= 6:1 gear ratio without the tav (with a low gear of 2.7 or 3:1 depending on model). with the tav your start ratio is 16.2 or 18:1 respectively. swapping 18t for the 20t means the above equasion becomes 5.4x0.9=4.86:1 ratio so 13.1:1 or 14.56:1. might change it more than that to keep the nose down but a quick flop of your current gearing might get you there.
