Hey rudeboy

you are correct that by raising the gear ratio you will add more load to the machine and maybe exceed it's pulling capability.

I also have a 250 hoda 3 wheeler that although it has very low gearing has seemingly much more pull than the marauder 250. That is all as you indicate as a result of gearing.

If you have more power then decreasing the gear ratio makes sense for more top speed etc.
