gear down

Yes, I have it that way on my Axys. No tensioner is required.
Gears
So your saying you can just install the 13-15 stock gears on a 16-17 axys with no tensioner? Is that using 13-15 belt or the 16 axys belt? Also what ratio does that make the axys

Obviously you have to use the Axys belt. Final gear ratio depends on driver size.
I don't understand the gear down mentality. I think the gearing is good on the QD Axys sleds and too low on the 3" chain drive Axys sleds. My friend put a 174 Camoplast track on his Axys and geared it up (chain drive) for better track speed. It is running an SLP pipe, head and Carl's porting but that is a heavy track.
That will give you a 2.38 overall gear ratio.
There are guys on here that have said track speed is better on the stock geared 3" than when they tried to gear them up.

Gear down
Sweet that sounds good, I liked my 241 gearing on my pro. that's easy and there are a lot of stock gearing out there off the 13-15 pros

Anyone actually done this mod? Re-geared with the Pro pulleys? If so, any opinions on good / bad / otherwise?
Curious, as I have a gear down kit for my Pro, leaving me with a "free" gear down setup for the Axys. But if it's negligible gains, I'd skip dong the Axys...

did you re-use you're stock bolts or switch out to arp bolts? what size are upper and lower bolts? thanks
I sell the TKI belt drive kits so I have had the opportunity to try different gearing in both the Pro-Ride and AXYS. I like both at 2.25:1 with stock clutching or 2.42:1 is even better if you are willing to clutch the sled to force the clutches to upshift with the lessened torque on CVT.
The AXYS with the quickdrive already runs similar gearing to 2.25:1 stock because of the 7 tooth drivers.
If you simply go to 2.42 without doing clutching, expect the sled to be revy and lose trackspeed.

You need to make it shift out easier. We use a helix that has a steeper angle. You can also try a softer secondary spring but risk slipping the belt in the secondary. We actually use a slightly stiffer spring with the steeper helix to make sure there is good belt grip and fast backshift.
