Hey all, new forum member here looking for advice on a CT200U-EXR-C.
I'll likely be picking one up from the tractor supply next week but am thinking I should at least order a larger rear sprocket now.
The smoothest terrain I may cover is a poorly maintained dirt road, but it will usually be some variation of across a farm field, down a small trail, down into a ravine, across a shallow creek/stream, and up out of the ravine, across a field then reverse to get back.
I had a little 2 stroke Tecumseh powered minibike as a kid and am familiar with the sit-walk associated with climbing steep off-road hills--but I'm hoping to keep the people paddling to a minimum.
Would a 72 tooth rear sprocket drop the top speed to the point that it would be uncomfortably slow across the field?
Based on a video from Red Beard's Garage it looks like the 60 tooth is a nice compromise, but it also doesn't look like they are doing much in the way of climbing. I'm pretty much always on a hill of some sort. Anyone have any experience going uphill with a 60 tooth rear and the rest stock?
If I install a torque converter over the winter would the 72 become way to big?
I have a 2 stroke dirt bike with an oversized rear sprocket and heavy flywheel for having fun. I'm grabbing the Coleman partially to drag a small chainsaw around to maintain the tight trails where my ATV doesn't fit. It would be nice to also use it to occasionally take the long way home or scoot over to the neighbour's without blowing their eardrums out while trying not to rip up their driveway with the dirt bike.
Any advice for my preliminary pre-winter order? 72 or 60? Anything else that's quick other than a spark plug and a stiffer governor spring if I can find one?
