Don't mean to highjack your thread, but you say you don't use 6th gear much. I have only had my bike a week and I noticed you have to cruise about 70-80 in 6th before it quits lugging the motor S I don't use 6th much either. It seems to me the bike is geared way to high in the top two or three gears. What is involved with changing the gearing? I am assuming you are changing the gearing on the motor. Do you need to get a different primary chain. How do you determine what size gear to use?

You can change the primary gearing, transmission gearing and final drive gearing. All have their pros and cons.
