[QUOTE="pdiddy, post: 835158, member: 52230"] So a good friend of mine finally bought a dirt bike. Albeit one that we all told him not to. He has never ridden in his life. He is 22 years old, 5-5 and 120lbs (small guy). We ride trails. Tight twisty and steep. I rarely see anything above 3rd gear on my KDX. He bought a 2001 KX250. It is actually a very nice bike. Well maintained, bearings good, good compression, all sorts of cool Devol guards, renthal bars. It runs very strong, incredible hit, wow. (Ok, so I dont ride MX bikes that often, lol) It needs tires, a new throttle and cable, chain and sprocket set and a spark arrester. But on to the point. He has never ridden before and this bike is geared incredibly high for what we do. It also seems to stumble right off the bottom. From searching this site, it seems like a 52 tooth rear sprocket, 13oz flywheel and boyseen reeds would be a good place to start in calming this thing down and making the gearing more suitable for tight trails. With a 52 teeth rear sprocket, would he need to replace the chain guide? Can we go bigger than 52 teeth? Is there anything else that should be done? Thanks for the help. [/QUOTE]
