[QUOTE="mox69, post: 1203618, member: 76391"] Personally I would dial in the suspension first. Like you have already realized, unless you have the throttle pinned for like 90% of the lap, engine upgrades won't help a whole lot. I realize we're right in the heart of the racing season, but it would still be worth it to send your suspension into someone who can set it up for you. The MX-TECH people who advertise here can help you a lot and have good prices. The stock suspension is good, but these people make it great. They will set it up for your weight, ability, riding type, etc. I would actually run the rear sprocket up 1 or 2 teeth. You are already dissatisfied with low end power output, it will only get worse if you go down teeth. I don't know how much $$ you have to spend on this, but if you want to do engine upgrades heres what I would do. a. Pickup a FMF gnarly pipe and a shorty silencer. b. Get boyseen or vforce reed setup. c. Get jd jetting kit. d. Pickup some VP racing gas (C12) (optional, see below) Now install all of these addons and prepare to spend some time to tune the jetting. You will probably have to lean the bike out a bit. Assuming you get the jetting right, you will see improved lower end (the whole RPM range will be better as well). Most serious racers run only racing gas for multiple reasons. One of them being consistency. They know the gas they buy next week will will respond the same as it did 3 weeks ago. With pump gas you do not get this consistency. It has also been shown that racing gas can improve throttle response a bit. Realize that once you tune / jet the engine with racing gas, you might have to rejet if you go back to pump gas. It won't hurt anything if you run 5 gallons through and then decide it's not worth it. As the proud owner of a 2002 CR250 with the above mods I mentioned I must say that my bike has no lack of low end torque. I can consistently pull the front end off the ground from a dead stop while sitting my ass (165 lbs) on top of the gas cap, with little clutch work. [/QUOTE]
