Gearing for trails?

[shanet1975]

I had an older 93 kx 250 in the past and the guy I bought it from had it geared much lower for trail riding. I just bought a 99 kx 250 and it is fast...........Wondering if anyone can tell me the stock gearing for the front and rear sprocket? Also wondering if anyone has suggestions on gearing for trail riding?

99 KX250 front is 13 teeth and the rear is 48 stock stock.

Thanks Ivan. Any thoughts on gearing it down a bit for trail riding?

smaller sprocket in the rear and/or 1 tooth bigger in the front.It will give you taller gears for trail riding.

I usually go up in the rear for trails.

On my YZ250F I went from a 48 to a 50 and am very happy with it.

All depends on personal preference. Some people don't change any gearing at all with the KX's b/c that year KX was a really good woods bike in stock form.

13/50 or 13/52 depending on how low you want to go.

FYI; One tooth smaller on the front normally equates to about three teeth larger in the rear. In NETRA races I run 12/52, (real tight stuff). Good Luck
