Hi guys, I recently purchased a bunch of RZ stuff enough to start another build and it came with complete cases fitted with Vito crank, new clutch basket etc and a complete Nova close ratio “B” gear set including shafts, I’ve stripped cases to inspect everything and am not sure if I should use the Nova set or fit standard gear set, has or does anyone here run the nova set and if so your thoughts would be great, I’m going to use 1UA top-end pretty much standard so would the gear set be ok or would I be better off standard? Cheers

Do you know what ratios you have?
They do do a road gearbox, but I would think it’s a bit of a waste on a standard bike.
If I were you I’d part exchange for a standard gearbox and spend the difference on the rest of the engine as your gearbox is worth a lot even second hand if it’s in good condition.
First dibs please (depending on price) if you go this route, and I have a decent standard gearbox to part trade.
Jon

Hi Jon, it’s the road “B” set, from what I understand it’s pretty much brand new the previous owner stripped the bike to build the way he wanted but ran out of funds and had to move it on so I jumped at it. I don’t have the receipt fir the gear set put do have the picking list from Nova.
I have a couple standard gear sets and the ones he removed from these cases to fit the nova set.
Couldn’t believe the price when I looked them up, let’s just say I got a great deal, paid less than half what the gear set is worth from nova for the lot!!!
You’ll appreciate the bike to its a jap market F1 250RR

nova gearboxes are fine, OTT for road use on a stock motor though, the B gear ratios are fine for road use as well

Hmmmm maybe put gearset aside for now and go standard don’t see the point in using it just to be able to say it has a Nova set in it.
