14- CHOICE OF THE BEST SPROCKET RATIO

The life of an engine depends upon many factors but most of all upon the speed at
which the engine is operated. If an engine is normally operated at speeds higher than
what recommended by the manufacturer, the wears and stress of the various
components (con-rods, roller cages, bearings etc.) will be such as to drastically
reduce the life of the engine itself. It is therefore extremely important that the user
respects the operating limits imposed by the manufacturer.
The operating limit for the Leopard engine is 15000 RPM.
ATTENTION:
Never exceed the above limit. No obligation of IAME exists in case the above
limit is exceed.
In case the user wishes to optimize on the
achieve the best possible performance, without abusing the engine, follow the under
shown recommendations.
The engines are supplied with a 10 or 11 teeth sprocket (pitch: # 219).
Table 1 shows the various ratios between the sprocket on the axle and the engine
sprocket given the different axle sprockets.
