225 dx top speed help

[blue'91X]

is there any way to get teh top speed of a 225 dx up a little, i know its a shaft, so its not as simple as changing sprockets, but is there a way?

Put on 25 inch tires.

i got mine up to 56mph, but that was with a car driving beside me and i heard thats no accurate, anyways i still had room for more, get an performance exhaust and that will give you some advantage. maybe chang your gearing?

Im running a 225 diff along with 25" tires and it sucks. Theres not enough power to spin the tires.

i dont want to put on 25 inch tires, im most likely getting 20's, and just want to get teh top speed near stock or higher, im probably getting a pipe, wiseco piston, and maybe a cam for it. how do i change my gearing?

[Yamahauler]

There is no other way to change the gearing besides tires on a shaft drive.
Well...no practical ways.

mine has an increase/decrease screw on the right side of the motor. i can adjust mine to have more top speed or to have bottom end. id try that

[Yamahauler]

That screw is to adjust your clutch when its slipping.
You turn the screw in all the way until you feel slight resistance, back it out 1/8th turn. Then tighten the locknut.

That is NOT to adjust your top speed or bottom end :lol:.....

when i adjusted mine it definatley got faster though.

maybe your clutch was slipping so it felt fast but slow, so when *Edited* increased it it grabbed all the way and then you felt the real speed, without the slip. i head somone say changing the actuall gear inside the tranny? idk if its possible.
