[QUOTE="njrealtor55, post: 971807, member: 63820"] I ride a 92 KX250 in the woods on a track I built myself - I am lucky to have a father in law with 10 acres of woods and all the construction equiptment you can imagine. The issue is the track is very very tight in some places. So tight, that my kx is literally at the bottom of 1st - so low i have to clutch it to navigate thru the turns. this is the way the track has to be due to property lines and large rocks in the woods. I have no problems with the track, and the bike runs well thru it as is - but it is a handful. It also tires me out faster having to use the clutch that much. I know a flywheel weight is gonna be on order in the future (12 oz.), but i would like to re-gear so i am not at the bottom of 1st in the tight sections. The stock gearing is 14/49 , and I do have to double check as the previous owner installed new renthal chain and sprockets before I bought the bike. I was thinking going to a 13 in the front, but adding or subtracting teeth from the front or rear is not the issue. I know changing the front to 1 lower # (13 in this case) is about the same ratio of 3 additional teeth in the rear. I also am aware of the additional shifting, and reduced top speed and the peaky powerband it will have, but being able to lug 2nd (after getting the flywheel) on my track is better than running out of gears and stalling. So to wrap up a long post... how many teeth will bring me from the bottom of 1st to.... let's say the bottom of 2nd? [/QUOTE]
