So, We all know the Pioneer 1000 has a fairly tall reverse gear.
In fact, 1st gear low is lower then reverse.
Pioneer 1000
1st gear - 2.764
Reverse - 2.222
Today. I received confirmation that the reverse on the Honda Talon has been "improved". 1st gear on the Talon is still lower then reverse, but not by much.
Talon 1000
1st gear - 2.764
Reverse - 2.640
Seeing that the sub-transmission controls reverse. I'd is willing to beat a gear change would be all that's needed to lower the reverse in a Pioneer 1000. Parts Fish have yet to be posted but as soon as they do we can confirm. A limitation may be a case update. We will just have to wait and see.
Below are the gear ratios for both units with the only listed differences.
Primary - 1.883
Front diff - 3.384
Rear diff - 3.375 / 3.307 Talon
1st - 2.764
2nd - 2.047
3rd - 1.583
4th - 1.230
5th - 0.968
6th - 0.800
Low - 2.666
High - 1.880
Reverse - 2.222 / 2.640 Talon
So... Whos needs a lower reverse? Does anyone want to take this on for verification?
