I saw on Blackwidow about a 5th gear conversion and have heard some people talking about it.... what is it? And is it recommended?

Please forgive me for all the "newbie" questions lately, but this is my first quad and I am feeling pretty dumb about everything. Thanks.

Cannondales have a wide gap in gearing between 4th and 5th, this conversion uses a lower 5th gear so that all the gears are spaced about the same.

On a stock motor this is a worthwhile investment. On a stroker or bigbore motor you may find yourself running out of gear on the top. How fast do you want to go?
