Hi Guys,
Has anyone put reverse on their new 2002 ZL 800efi SS or any
other 2002 sled? I have all the parts now (Finally) and I am going get it installed this week. I was just wondering if it effects the performance of the sled any? I have heard it doesn`t but only from the dealer.  Can anyone help me out on this topic? Thanks!

You will lose a couple mph on the top end , because of gear changes, but it will have a little more out of the hole. Definnently not that big of a deal for what you gain in exchange.

Just like 7c said..  stock gearing 24T 39B With reverse 23top big fat 39 bottom, the chain case is quite full of new parts, I am actually taking mine OUT of the 99 zrt and am going to install it in the zl,, Went 115.2 MPH yesterday on the lake  W reverse. Hoping i can go a little faster with normal chain case,,, with out,  on radar,,
