TaoTao ATA-250D Mods & Q&A

So I got my new JT Sprockets 13-tooth front sprocket and HD Chain in today. I put those on, slipped the stock muffler back on and ran up and down the road to gauge speed loss and initial torque feel.

Let me say that I could not "feel" any difference in loss of speed, but the torque was way up! 1st gear is a monster now.

I backed it up to my trailer and hooked on. I pulled it around the block, head first up the driveway and into the back yard, spun it around, backed up several times. The wheeler was way better at pulling the trailer now.

I did notice a little bend in the angle iron, but I figure that is to be expected. My trailer is a heavy bastard with about 450-500 lbs tongue weight. It is an old 21-foot boat trailer converted to a flat deck ATV trailer. If it does become a problem, Hitch 2.0 will have doubled up angle iron instead of single.
