New to the forum, got some ?'s

Hi guys, pretty new here (i know the account has existed a while but i kinda fell away from my minibike)

Anyways, I just have a couple of questions that I need some help answering.

OK, so. i have a Mitsubishi 6.5hp motor out of some walmart mini bike (looks to be a honda gx200 clone) and the gear ratio is 10/50? so 10 teeth on the clutch 50 at the axle and im just wondering is this too high? I think my clutch is pretty burned up and I would like to get a new one, I've read about Max Torque and Comet, any suggestions? and where should I order them from?

sorry, i know like nothing about it and id like to learn, thanks in advance for all of your help.

your gear ratio is ok. it's a 5:0 which is the same as a 12/60 which a lot of people run.

Max Torque and Comet both make good clutches. check out mfgsupply.com for a clutch.
