Hello Everyone,
Excuse my silly questions, I'm only a newbie and am thinking of buying a S10, but I am concerned about the overall gearing being too tall for Australian conditions. A lot of out tracks here are slow, slippery fire trails littered with loose rocks and a low 1st gear would be important, as slipping the clutch all the time would not be ideal.
Can anyone answer these questions please: 1. How slow can you go in 1st gear without slipping the clutch (I mean at idle)? 2. I've noticed the bevel gears (inside the gearbox) at the gearbox output have a different number of teeth on each, does any Yamaha technician know if these can be changed around to lower the overall gearing please? Thanks in advance!
