[QUOTE="skipro3, post: 700592, member: 37632"] Instaurare, Do you want to ride and have fun, or do you want to piss about the pros and cons of chain and sprocket combinations? I think you want to ride and others here want to beat the dead horse about what is "best", or worse, try and impress you with their expertise. It sounds like if you went with an 11 tooth CS sprocket and an o-ring chain, you will have the desired effect you were looking for. Yes, you might go through one or two CS sprockets and maybe even a chain over the lifetime of your bike, but so what?!!? Bikes should be set up to enjoy, not last a long time. Anyone looking for a set up that won't wear out is looking for a bike they don't plan on ever riding, or is going to spend a lot of time cleaning and lubing their chain. An o-ring chain requires much less attention than a standard chain. (IMHO) There is some debate about an o-ring chain sapping some power from the bike due to resistance and such, but unless you are a pro rider, you will never notice such a small drag. I too have the KDX220 and it is a different beast from the 200. If I may suggest: your riding terrain and style,(tight woods and almost trials like speeds), could be more manageable with a flywheel weight. I put one on my bike and could not believe the difference in the bottom end performance. The bike is almost impossible to stall and the power delivery is verrrry smooth with no hard hit at an inopertune moment. Jetting is also critical at these speeds and rpms to prevent plug fouling, so if you haven't jetted yet, you may want to think about that as well. For sure if you are running stock jetting. Have fun and good luck! P.S. as far as brands of chains or sprockets stick to the more more popular name brands and you will be fine. [/QUOTE]
