[QUOTE="Instaurare, post: 671302, member: 46654"] I thank everyone for the helpful advice given. Once I raised the frame to allow the arms full droop, the chain was easy to remove, without having to open the master link. And that 12 tooth is great---it gives me the equivalent of one full additional gear lower, with the only drawback of removing my tallest gear, which I never used anyway. It was a very fair tradeoff. I notice already the advantages in climbing more slowly, although, as was mentioned, it does not behave in exactly the same chugging way as my old 4 stroke trials bike. And yes, it is a 220, and I really do enjoy the snap of acceleration that is easily the equal of the old Honda XL500 which I owned for a time after the trials bike. The only thing I would like to change, now that the gearing is done, is to somehow get the bike lowered without messing up the suspension. I am going to substitute low density for high density foam in the seat, and I read the search pages on this subject, but it seems that there are drawbacks in the other mods, such as changing the fork setting. I stand at 5' 8.5", and the bike is easy to mount and ride, but what has troubled me is finding myself stalled on a steep incline and being forced to keep balance until I restart on uneven terrain----I feel like the bike is almost getting away from me. Any suggestions? I will probably add an additional sole to my boots to get a little extra height, but I do wish this KDX were a bit lower. [/QUOTE]
