scootworks 900 pulley

[pat0021]

Just got this from them today!! They havent set the price yet.

The new front pulley will be ready sometime next week. It will have 2
more teeth on it to help at highway speeds. Also we are working on a
new rear pulley that will have 4 less teeth. The two pulleys will sold
as a set for alot of rpm reduction at highway speeds or just the front
for a small difference in rpm's.
the total kit should be ready by the first of May.

Ah Yes, But will the Rear Pulley be available in chrome?

I'm betting not.

Where, what am I looking at. Is there supposed to be a pic on here. Or do they have a pic at Scootworks on line.

I'm not familiar on how the belt and pullies work compaired to a chain and cogs.
If they are similar then the front cog should put the speedometer right on the mark.
Going down 2 in the front and 4 in the back, you might get some speeding tickets?
To bad they sell them in pairs, one would be enough.
This will be great at highway speeds however,............you will notice a loss in torque. The bike will loose it's snap when you crack the throttle.

You can get just a front, but they will sell the front and back as a kit also. The front is what I want. I don't think both is what I need for the kind of riding I do.

I agree, I'm never over 100kms per hour and I don't drive on the highways.
I would like to have a smaller front or larger rear to give the bike more torque but it would throw the speedo out more than it is now!

Yahoo could mean the difference between trading up and keeping my baby. Love my 900 LT buttttt it needs to rev less at highway speeds (65-70 miles per) yes I am A old fart not out to rip the road up but to cruise.

It should lower the rpms... wouldn't that make the speedo show a slower speed???? Not sure. I can always reset the speedo if I have to. I had a custom speedo face made by custombikerstuff and he made a 3 percent adjustment to the numbers to help get it closer. Then I rode at 60mph and reset the needle there. Its pretty accurate up to about 70mph.

Sounds like "Scootworks" just made a sale.

Small in the front increases RPM so does larger in the back.
Going big in the front reduces RPM and smaller in the rear also.

Alright, Ive been waiting for awhile. Man Im thrilled.
Oh wait.
I got rid of my 900 didnt I.
Oh well.

Can someone explain to me what this truly means? What kind of results can be expected by adding a larger pulley in the front alone? What about combining this with a smaller pulley in the rear? Why? Can someone please explain the logic in how this works? Also, should we expect this to cost very much? Is this something that is easily added? Are longer or shorter belts needed? I know this is a lot of questions but everyone is so excited I just want to know what this all means.

What it means is, by the time you spend the money for the new pulleys to lower the RPMs on the highway,then spend the money on performance parts to give it the power it had BEFORE the pulley change, you will have as much into the Bike as a 1600 costs.

Bingo! Sometimes you have to decide how far is too far... Personally, I like the rpms my 900 turns above 75. It is nicely into the power band, and sounds great! I've yet to get up on the rev limiter with the 900, but can do it easily on the 2000.

Anybody have a tach on their 900, and knows where the limiter kicks in?

i'm in , i'll take the first one!

This was a good question and never got answered. I too would like an explaination...

When it comes to chains you had some choices on reducing the teeth of the rear socket. Personally I would like to slightly reduce RPM at highway speeds to minimize the loss in low end torque.

If they have a rear pulley in Chrome I am sold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Maybe so, but I enjoy riding my 900 more then I enjoy riding my V2K and I don't want a 1600

I am in for a front!
