16­ 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 (con­rods, 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 17000 RPM and the RPM limiter is
calibrated at this value.
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 track the sprocket ratio in order to 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: 7.775mm).
Table 1 shows the various ratios between the sprocket on the axle and the engine
sprocket given the different axle sprockets.
