I'm looking for suggestions on gearing a 2001 YZ426f with 17s on it for Midstate Kart Club. I just put it back together after crashing it at a trackday on GIR. Waaayy undergeared, even at 15-41

I'm betting that combo might be a bit excessive for Midstate

I've ridden that track, it's got a decent sized back straight.
maybe 80-90 mph max

I live in IL Granite city. I have ran two trackdays at Gateway with the big bikes on my 610 Husky.

I think I saw you there the first time. I was in intermediate, #538. I crashed at the end of the day in turn 7, I think it is

I actually stopped by and talked to you for abit. I think at that time you where in the novice class I think. I remember a yamaha having a crash later. There was also another husky there with stock pipe etc..........with a bigger rider on it. One of my buddys Jerry davidson was a control rider and told me you had crashed. Guess he figured since I was on a motard I needed to know. LOL Hope you got your bike fixed up and your OK. I was out last sunday on the river road and came across JIM the guy that rides the black and blue 550 motard. That bike is fast. Was running 12.27 1/4 mile times at gateway earlier in the year. Says it is stock. I kind of question that. My roadstar has 98.6HP and 111TQ. And I didn't pull from him tell we hit 100 mph then my patrick racing cams took over...........But what the heck those aprillias get it on.

Yup, clear Clarke oversized tank. The stocker I got in the deal was actually cracked around the top. I like the clear better since I don't have a fuel gauge....or reserve

The bike and I fared pretty well. Bent bars, tweeked subframe and a ground down footpeg on the bike. I had a pretty massive bruise on my arm, but nothing else really. The bike was back up and ready for action about a week later.

Interesting on the 550. They do scoot!

Probably not. It's very likely I'll be getting off work at midnight the night before, after a 12 hour shift.

If I go it will be done when I get there. I have a 13.1 piston installed now. Bike seems to pull harder not by much though. what kind of top end does that 426 have.

Top end as in MPH? Dunno yet. the 15-41 figured out to around 96mph at 10,600 RPM, which should be the rev limiter in the CDI unit I have(previous owner went with a WR unit, which loses me about 800 rpm off the top from a YZ unit). It pulled up to that pretty smartly around GIR, and I was on the rev limiter in top gear by the start finish line.

On the street it will pull to 103-104 mph before hitting riv limiter in 6th. I have never saw that at the track 96--98 mph on the straight away. The husky 450 and 510 riv to like 10,200 they are the race bikes.
