You could always pull the cover; that gives you the opportunity to change some very old gear oil. Otherwise, lift one wheel off the ground and put a mark on the tire. Also mark the driveshaft. Turn the wheel and count how many times it rotates to make one complete rotation of the driveshaft. That's your gear ratio. For example, if the wheel turns 3 3/4 turns for one turn of the driveshaft, your gear ratio is 3.73.

Earlier u stated: "Turn the wheel and count how many times it rotates to make one complete rotation of the driveshaft. That's your gear ratio. For example, if the wheel turns 3 3/4 turns for one turn of the driveshaft, your gear ratio is 3.73."
