Is there anyway to get a six speed tranny on a quadzilla?
Blows my mind why Suzuki would put a six speed on the lt250 and not the lt500. Thanks.
I said the same thing for 10 years

They did it to keep the top speed down. It's still has the highest top speed off the showroom floor than any other atv.
Anything is possible. The problem is the thickness of the cases. You'd have to make each gear a little thinner to fit a 6 speed into the width of a 5 speed. Could be done, but would be expensive and time consuming.
Didn't do much for the 250r still the same final ratio as the 85 to 86 5 speeds. Just have to shift more
Is it still faster off the showroom floor over a renegade 1000... top speed wise???
I dunno, how long is the showroom floor that we're talking about?

I assumed they added a sixth gear to the 250, keeping the final ratio the same, to give the rider more ratio options to keep the engine in the power through varied track conditions. That might explain why the 250, with less torque, would get an extra gear while the 500 would not since it can pull the higher ratios and be less sensitive to larger steps between gears.
I agree. Too bad the 500 can't have a 6th gear of about 0.750:1...
Nopick nailed it............
No really good reason it needs a 6th gear.
of course there is. 1/4 mile runs!!!!

I'm not mining for old posts, just signed up..........the can-am 1000 atvs are limited to 77mph by the factory. My bro has one as well my cousin.
