Hey everyone i'm new to off roading just got my kdx 125 2 months ago a freind of mine suggested i change the front sprocket to a more off road gearing is this the thing to do or should i leave well alone. What would this do as well??? :ride:
It depends on what type of riding you do. Here in West Virginia, I ride mostly tight single track trails. These are old logging roads that have lots of turns and can be hilly at times. I run a 13 tooth front and a 48 tooth rear sprocket. This combo gives me lots of power right off the start. What is your currnet set up as far as sprockets?
Hey there
The trails i ride are much the same lots of roots going up hill tight with ruts and bogs some gravel straits and road sections the chalk hils are a nightmare in the wet !!! Great fun !!! but i find i am constantly having to change gear at the wrong moment i think i need more touqe my currentset up is as standerd i have 15 teeth front 52 rear the bike is a jap import so is not restricted any idears????
Well that seems to the way to go I'm replacing the chain and the back sprocket as well .I have looked at Ironman sprockets site they had a gear ratio table which was very helpfull,i will be going for 13 48 the same as KDX1 as you pointed out it gives the same ratio as if i went to 14 on the front.
thanks for your help guys
