[QUOTE="JasonJ, post: 124199, member: 23758"] You may be ok since your on the west coast, but riding the big YZ in tight east woods is like putting a kick me sign on your number plate. If you take the YZ into rocky, tight, or slipery stuff, you will have to ride it fast because of the gearing. This could really be un-nerving. I played with the counter sprocket on my 99 WR 400 and found the 14 was to fast for really tight slipery woods. 12 T made 1 st gear worthless, 13 put it right on the money. The WR 400 or 426 sounds like the ideal bike for the West coast trail work. The problem with gearing the YZ down is it all ready has so much low end bark, it may be hard to manage with more advantage on the rear wheel. I know alot of WR 250 guys go to YZ timing, but are coming back to the WR timing after the gray wire mod, because they are spinning the back wheel to much in the trails. I have never herd of anyone putting the WR timing on the YZ, but see no reason it cant be done. If the YZ is a VERY good deal, get it, try to tame it. If it dose not work out, sell it for the same price you payed as was said above or work a trade for a WR. Good luck!! :) [/QUOTE]
