I need a little help. I need to know the gear ratio for the 89 gs 500. My situation is that I am mini-sprint racer and have installed the
gs in my car. I have not received the repair manual yet.
I think this is what you meant...
(From Clymer 1989-2002; Chapter 7, Table 1)
Gear Ratio
| 1st | 2.461 | (32/13) |
| 2nd | 1.777 | (32/18) |
| 3rd | 1.380 | (29/21) |
| 4th | 1.125 | (27/24) |
| 5th | 0.961 | (25/26) |
| 6th | 0.851 | (23/27) |

He said "mini-sprint" so maybe it's a go-kart?
edit: whatever it is, we'd love a picture! :thumb:
Thanks, BeRto. That is the very thing I needed. I'm not handy on the computer but will try to put in a pic. I belong to a club of older
racers that still love to race but don't like to spend big bucks doing it. Our class is limited to the old yamaha 400, or a 600 older than 94.
I came acrossed a guy that had the 89gs sitting in old garage, shot an offer and bingo. I needed gear ratio to set my rear gearing on
rear axle comp to what it was to the yamaha. We run on a 1/6 mile dirt oval, turn speeds of 50 mph.

Yeah, if you could I'd love to see a pic.

With alot of help we did it. This pic is with the 400 yamaha on it. I did get the gs fired up in it last night. The gs has a lot more torque
to it than the old motor had.
Wow! That's really cool! :thumb:
I'd love to see some pics of the installed GS engine. :icon_mrgreen:
