It should be a 32 tooth pulley.

the later evo front gear numbers -- motor sprocket 25 clutch shell is 36 devide them and you get 1.44 -

rear sprocket front 32 teeth rear sprocket 70 tooth = 2.19

1.44 X 2.19 = 315.36 is the final ratio -- with a 65 sprocket its 1.44 X 2.03125 = 2.925 final ratio at the rear wheel

i think that is what you were asking -- johnjzjz

Thumbs up
So primary is the same as TC88, early Evos having 24/37 primary. I knew there was a subtle difference!

There were also some touring models in the late 90's that had the 25/36.

I found this on a 97 police road king that I did some work on.

Setting aside how you change the gearing, what would you like of your bike? In other words what is it you want to change?

Change the rear to a 65 or as stated a 34 tooth front.

Most people will say I'm nuts but I run 34/65 on my FXR.
