oh i forgot, the guy who said that his zx goes 70 cruise then to powerband of 80-85, its not possible without out your frame flexin.
that must be a drag bike, cuz where i from not even a full stroked 82cc to 125cc elite's, dd50's, and sym (dio's) reach that, yet alone be for daily use.
not to say anything bad, but please its pass your bedtime WAKE UP!lol
I've often thought about that poster, and the responses he got. It is MOST likely he was NOT bull sh**ting, and has a drag set up. You SURE can't ride that on the street or there would be pieces EVERYWHERE!
I called Steve (MHR) about the gears, and he THINKS there may be one set left from the ZX modding days. I won't find out till Monday, as the warehouse was closed today.
There is a difference in the Dio gears, and the ZX gears but the DJY I do not know. I will take you at your word, and order a set if Steve cannot find his set. I am hoping for a 5.7:1 final. That should tame the cvt torture. 1/2 throttle is all I can really use. Once the pipe hits it is all down twisting, even with 9gr rollers. I don't care about the bottom end as most of my "commute" is on Hwy 98. Around town I do a steady 45-50, and no one notices.
Thanks for the help Bro!

If he's "cruising" at those speeds, that's not a drag bike, that's street

Was up guys? Trust me the malossi primary gears for the kymco djy will fit perfect. I did have my doubts about it but it work perfect.
With all the set up you all have, with these gears your goals will be reached and then some.

Here is the part # for the gears on malossi usa, #676458. They cost about 95 dollars.
They are made for kymco djy,djx,and cx.
Hope this help you all out.
This should be run with the stock secondary  gears.

Thanks for the Number. I have an unknown set of secondaries installed, and have no OEM gears. I will order the primaries tomorrow from SPI, and give it a shot. (this is if MHR dosen't have the set I wanted) I just realized I do have an OEM set in the engine I built for the Malossi. Either way I will post up results for you guys.

No...I'm done messing with it after the last FULL rebuild!  Nice to know compatible parts for the next go-round though. ;)

 the next go-round

There's ALWAYS that one...
That's why I have to sell it. I hate when it's not perfect.
