We have the 37 tooth double sprocket for the Kinroad 150/250
We're still working on a chain supplier. You'll need about an extra link or two with the new sprocket.

Havent been in the area long enough to know lincolns... but we did the Shriners, Carbon Monoxide Comandos poker ride. Last year the course was up around the outskirts of Silver Mt. Pine Creek...etc. This year was 32 miles. Thru Smelterville, Pinehurst, Pine Creek, Kingston, Bear Creek and back to Smelterville.... tough terrain for this lil buggy.

Where you at now?

Im back in Ohio now. I lived in Idaho for 9 years total. Lincolns $10,000 silver dollar bar just over the hill in Montana. They do two poker runs a year or used to. You start off at Lincolns and head over the hill to Mullan and then to Wallass and then to Kellogg all along the way you stop at the check points IE[bars] and have a drink and pull your card out of the deck. Then you repeat the trip back to Lincolns. The one with the best hand wins the grand prize. Lots of people. Lots of beer. and lots of fun. It is the longest poker ride I have ever been on. Its over 80miles round trip. Man I wish I was back there for Gyro days.

Cvt upgrades do not alter the power band of a machine it has nothing to do with it.

What cvt upgrades do is make the power band you have more useable. It changes the shift points is what it does so for instance in a standard car it changes the shifting input from granny shifting every gear at 2500 rpm (out of your power band) to actually reving the engine a bit before changing gears 4000 rpm+.
The horsepower rating of your cart be it 10 horsepower or 20 horsepower is at max or very close to max rpm so changing gears at half rpm would effectively in theory turn your 20 horsepower engine to 10 horse power and your 10 horsepower to 5 horsepower. The only time you would have "full" horsepower available would be in top gear when you could actually get some rpm out of the cvt without it changing gears. Assuming you could get the power out of it with all the resistance on the cart.

Hopefully this can clear this up for some people that are trying to understand the cvt.

What good is shifting at 3500 rpm if you have max power at 6 thousand rpm for instance.
