60 tooth work also

80 tooth with those big tires is probably not a bad idea.

If you want torque, this is the way to go.

60 tooth may not work. My opinion and Mr. Tyler's is that you should go much bigger with that size tire. 80 teeth will work much better.
60 tooth will load up engine and drive line and severely shorten life of clutch. Full potential of engine will never be realized.
60 teeth would be fine on 10-12 inch diameter tire, not 20 inch.

how many teeth on the clutch r u going to have

 

[g racer]

well wut evere i need i got a 10 and i got a 12 tooth clutch

 

[r_chez_08]

id go for 10t clutch and 80t sprocket

 

[g racer]

im haveing a hard time trying to find 1

 

[r_chez_08]

fine then 12:80. to see your speed use the speed calculator,

the lower speed, the higher torque

 

[r_chez_08]

what chain r u using

I ran a 12 to 54 with 21 inch tires, but I had a CVT.
