Pulley Swap

[buelltool]

I'm trying to lower my highway rev's. My 9 rev's 4k at about 70-75mph. or for any Canadians 120kph. Just bought a 29 tooth tranny pulley to replace my stock 27. Now I need a 130 tooth belt and I'm good to go. Are Buell belts "special" or can I get any aftermarket belt?
Has anyone done any pulley switches..??? feedback.....

I'm with you on that one bro. I'm saving up to install this little gem over the winter. Primary reduction. Wheelies are tougher on the Long so I want to level the playing field

 

[LeFox]

already have that

isn't it cheaper at a dealer? i mean it's just the primairy of the 9...

heyyyyy.....hellooloooooo.....
What about a pulley swap for that "added control way down low" yo.[up] Something with fewer teeth.
Or for higher top end...lower highway rev's....adding teeth to the tranny pulley.
Simple No?
I'm gonna give it a go.

Lefox...what kinda pulley's you runnin to rev higher?

Lefox...what kinda pulley's you runnin to rev higher?

Click on the "primary reduction" link in my above post. It's the stock XB9 primary gears. when you put it in an XB12 it yield an 11% gear reduction for that "added control way down low"

Or for higher top end...lower highway rev's....adding teeth to the tranny pulley.

I would think that you could put a XB12 primary gears in you XB9 and that would yield lower highway RPMs.

the xb9 lacks the power to pull this off without losing the fun factor.

i'm running a tourque kit from hillbilly amongst other stuff

 

[buelltool]

torque kit? What does that consist of?

 

[LeFox]

about the same as the primairy of the xb9

 

[buelltool]

Just a primary drive swap? On a 12?

 

[josh buell]

id be wiiling to swap 06 xb12 primary for a xb9

 

[LeFox]

Just a primary drive swap? On a 12?

yep, chain & sprocket

 

[josh buell]

yes

 

[buelltool]

Hey LeFox.....where can one buy "chain and sprocket" for primary?

 

[LeFox]

your local dealer? [smirk]

Ya I've been looking on line for aftermarket primary chain sprocket....looks like I'd have to go straight to Harley for the Buell parts. That's if I put a 12 primary on a 9. What's it worth ...any idea?

BTW...anyone know how to calculate:
1. final drive ratio
2. top speed....or theoretical top speed?

I'll take a look at iron machine in the mean time.
