Cannondaleriders

5th gear that is! I was keeping up with a B class racer (I am C class) until a long sandy back section where we would both hit 5th gear. so now I am dropping my motor and putting a new motard 5th gear in. Wish me luck, I will be taking all plastic off and draining all fluids tomorrow, then starting to drop the motor.

good luck.its not that hard other than getting the snap ring off that is inbetween the two gear. you will be modifying your snapring pliers for sure.but is not tat bad.have fun

Why don't you leave the stock 5th gear in and install a Timbo stroker instead? Then you'll have no problems pulling 5th!

Get the wiseco stock piston ,port the head,and install the bike velocity stack . Then you wont need the motard gears .

Why don't my Cannondale have a 5th gear? I hit 72 in it's last gear which was 4th.....

4 shifts is 5 gears.....I know of no Cannondale that came with 4 gears!

I have the bike velocity stack, how much does it cost to port the head? Who does it, and what is the turn aroudn time. I am gonan do something, but it has to be done by the 26th

timbo and haydug do porting. not sure who else

I have a motard gear in the ATK and regular 5th in the stroker 450. All I had done was the short air horn and the stroker crank and it feels just like it has the motard gear, just goes to a higher top speed. It can actually pull other quads down the straights. I think if you plan on modding the engine, leave the gears the same. You'll most likely regret it.

how much does it cost for Timbo to do head work, and what he does to the throttle body
