Front Sprocket

[KDXBADASS]

Got a 96 KDX200 with stock gearing. It is fine for the desert. Just curious if a 12T on the front would be ok for some woods riding. I live close to the woods and the desert is 5 hrs one way. So I ride more in the woods. Haven't taken mine up the the mountains yet but was just wondering if anyone else had some input?
Thanks

Why the front sprocket and not the rear?

Much easier and cheaper to change. I also ride a 2011 KLR60. We are known for our cheapness. Lol

Also causes more chain wear, chain my roll on swing arm. If that's not a concern, go for it. Not sure anyone can tell ya if it's geared "okay for words". Give it a go and see if it works with your abilities and the woods you ride.

Just watch the chain.

I ran a 12 from time to time on my CR500. Apart from chain life I never had any real issues doing so and it made the bike usable in the woods. I suppose that the real answer would be to change the transmission gears. But, that wasn't going to happen. Changing out the sprockets was inexpensive and worked.
