jhautz, therein lies my problem. When I gear the Neu motor at the same gearing that I'm running the 9XL, the performance of the Neu seems anemic. A few of the guys at the track asked me why I went with such a slow motor.

If it wasn't for the heat issue, I would have gone back to the 9XL.

I didn't think that I was overgeared because the Quark is running at about 130 or so. I thought I had to gear up more, but the cogging stopped me from doing that.

I did think that there was something wrong with the motor. That's why I sent it back to Neu. They said that nothing is wrong with it and sent it back to me.

I had to gear the Neu at 17/46 to match the speed that I was getting with the Feigao at 14/46. I know that it doesn't sound right, but that's what I have.

To hell with it. I'll gear back down to 15/46 and see what happens to the motor temps.

I have been quite disappointed with this 1.5Y. I was supposed to get a 2.5d back, but go figure. They screwed up and sent me the wrong motor.
