Message: [QUOTE="ToddHawaii, post: 1353620, member: 17862"] While my bike is being rebuilt, I have decided to ride my wife's bike - an 04' KTM125SX. I ride the more difficult trails here in Colorado, so I set out to make her bike a little more "trail-worthy." Skid plate, bark-busters...even a 9oz. flywheel weight. The gearing is 13/50. I know, I'm lame for asking :whoa: but, my question is - why does the bike still bog when I hit the throttle? Like to simply bop over a root, or rock? Is my gearing off? I've ridden Yamaha and Suzuki 125s without noticing this lack of low-end. As soon as I'm in the power, it's fine. Is it just a matter of learning to stay in the power-band? Or, should I up to a 12t counter, or a 52t rear sprocket? Also, this bike only has 5 gears, instead of the 6 that I thought it was supposed to have. Any answers here? Thanks for your help!!! [/QUOTE]
