[QUOTE="robbieisurfriend, post: 1242203, member: 77317"] Hey guys ive got myself quite a predicament here. My 89 YZ 250wr has problems with first gear so i have been avoiding it because i do not have the cash to have the case split right now. It has HIGH gearing and seems like it will go over 40 in 2nd gear which makes it blow big time on tight trails. Last trip I fouled two plugs and caused LOTS of extra wear on my clutch. My question is if there is any downfall to getting a smaller front sprocket. Im pretty sure (havent looked yet) that it is 13 or 14 teeth, if i went to 11 would it make a big enough difference to be worth it. I am not at all concerned about lowering top speed and do not want to spend $100+ on a rear sprocket when i could put that money toward the gearbox. I realize that this is just putting a bandaid on the problem but if it allows me to hit the trails a little easier temporarily then it will be well worth it. I just do not want to do it if it is going to destroy my chain or something or something similar. Thanks alot. [/QUOTE]
