    Probably wont fit a BRP though
    Mate, that's a misconception. It's about sprocket diameter so you'd be best to pull out the grinder and take the whole thing down a bit
    There are two kinds of adventurers: those who go truly hoping to find adventure and those who go secretly hoping they won't. We should come home from our adventures having faced their perils and uncertainties, endured their discomfort and beaten the odds, with a sly acknowledgment and revitalised solidarity of character.

    Or just keep a rooted tyre on there with its effectively lower-gearing effect. There's a bunch of options to skin this cat - don't jump straight to the obvious one!

    Yep, a 120/80/18 Shinko 705 is 4 rear teeth smaller than the 18" MT43 Pirelli.

    Was having a play down the beach(on the XR) got up to 140 on one run thought i was Johnny Campbell for about 5 seconds till this young fella on his Husky 510 made me look like i was a newby on a 250
    fook them things are quick, might need a 630 transplant with pumper carb and hotcam to try and keep up
    The XR's torque was something fastastic when ya hit the real soft stuff, was a real treat to play in what is made for, will have to try and get in it more often.

    They are taken on the Omarama Saddle and Black Forest roads....
