Long Track Gearing

[whits-end]

The stock spec's show the gearing slightly lower (1 tooth, top gear)on a Warrior, than an RX-1 shorty.
If you do a 136" conversion, is this gearing critical?
Engine is stock, use is trail riding.
If I go to a 1" track, fully studded, I assume it will drag my shift RPM down.
Will gearing down compensate, or will I still need to lighten my clutching?

Don't worry about your gearing when stretching to 136 from 121. It'll be fine at stock. The idea with lowering the gearing is to ease engagement and to take advantage of the additional hookup by putting more torque to the driveshaft, not to mess with the shifting.
