These bikes were never intended to run at the speeds that we push them to in North America.
The Chinese use them as tractors and low speed mules.

for what it's worth, when I upgraded my tires I added dynabeads and my bike is very stable at 110kmh as long as I stay away from the dity air behind big vehicles.

We just bought 2 wildire 200cc dual sports bikes ourselves. I was wondering what are the sproket sizes that come with the bike. We are trying to plan ahead to get them ready for riding when they arrive. We had 2 vivas when we lived in hawaii and enjoyed them very much.

Welcome back. I think the wildfires come geared low. Probably 17/56.

Thanks for the advice... I definitely see what you say about high speeds. The wind fels like it is going to throw you off the road... No sprockets yet I noticed a gas leak on my tank so I took it off to weld it... I will update when I count sprocket teeth and order one or two....

Put a 17 on the front. Are you sure about the rear sprocket? Never heard of any coming stock with a 39 rear.

Ours came with 46 rear sprocket and 15 front sprocket, change the 15 to a 17 and the bike is geared just right.

17/46 is about optimum for most riding.

Well thats what i get for trusting somone else to count the sprockets.... I was installing my gas tank and my buddy was counting... It seemed a little odd myself... and if it was 15/39 I thought it allready should be geared fast enough....
