[QUOTE="Nestrick, post: 818892, member: 45162"] I am looking to gear my 02 CRF-450 down for better control on tight trails ... it originally came with 13/50 sprockets and I installed a Regina ORN O-Ring chain ... only ran this combo for about two months before changing the rear sprocket to a 52 ... this made it better but the bike is still geared way too high for tight trails. This year I needed to replace the chain and both sprockets and opted to get Sidewinder Ti-Moly units ... they offered a 12T counter sprocket which I got, and I kept the same size 52T rear sprocket that I had been running. This combination gives a final ratio of 4.33 which is up from my original 4.00. I am now running a Sidewinder Ti-Moly O-Ring chain as well. While eminently more 'ridable' ... I am now a bit worried about excessive wear on the 12T counter sprocket and whether or not this will put unnecessary strain on the main shaft exiting the transmission. I have also installed a 15 oz Steahly flywheel weight at the same time I made these latest gearing changes and find it to be a dramatic improvement over stock. Anyone have any experience with 12T counter sprockets on CRF-450s? Longevity ... chain wear ... motor problems? Is a RevLok auto clutch a better way to achieve the performance in tight situations than gearing down via sprockets. It seems that the only 'wide ratio transmission' I can find for CRF-450s is the one from Baja Designs and it does not alter the original gearing for 1st and 2nd gears which is where I want most to increase the gearing! Thanks in advance for any advice ... terry nestrick :bang: [/QUOTE]
