what gearing??

Some wondering what thoughts people have on gearing and speed results??

iv got a monkey on 8" wheels running a 176cc motor. currently on 17/26 setup which aint tried yet as just put them on. (was running 18/28 but was mental acceleration)

ive got an 18 front and 28 rear spares and also some 10" wheels but i put the 8's back on as i like it small (cos its a monkey)

just thought peeps on here will be used to gearing setups,

thanks

Re: what gearing??

Will get some pics up soon, il wait till got extra bits through and fitted. just waiting for oil catch tank and also engine to be sorted.

i have noticed oil drops under bike in the conservatory from after riding it. and when i was out on it, when i stop at traffic lights or anywhere, oil drops out, lands on exhaust and the just see smoke and burning smell.

cant see where its coming from as oil over exhaust bolt, oil pipe bolts and also in behind the spark plug and looks as if its coming out from head gasket.

also looked underneath and noticed this hole, in the pic im shining the torch through and can see light in behind where spark plug goes.

seeing that ive only just got it back from ooracing and been out 3 times on it, not very impressed.

Anyone got any ideas???
