got some good time with the T5 out on the lake this weekend:Dseems like it is really gonna haul some *ss in the sand.pretty much any gear at any rpm it will do wheelies until i get off the throttle:pi was able to do some relly long and hard WOT pulls and got the jetting dialed in,really didnt have any issues except for a bolt or two backing out,need more lok-tite:cool:i am relly excited to see how it will perform in the sand,i think it wil be unbelivably fast.i am startin my swing arm lengthening next week i will be adding 3" to the stock swinger,i have already spoke with a machinist friend of mine who will be helping with perfectly straught cuts as well as machining the slugs to add length.i will start a new thread when i have it all apart and keep it updated,thia may be something that i can do for other members for relatively cheap

1/2 Throttle is mostly your needle, move the clip up or down see if it improves either direction. With that pod you may have to jump up to a richer needle all together. Check out the Sudco website and you can see the OEM needle comparison chart to see what needle # you may need. If not you can always get on OEM from your local dealer.

where did you ended up with front and rear sprocket?

i had a front 14 tooth off my banshee that fit perfectly,and i havent ordered the rear yet so i am still rolling on the T3 stock 37 tooth...it feels like it would do 120+ with this gearing:)
