I'm due to replace the sprockets on my KDX250. The local shops say they'll have to order the sprockets because they don't show in their guidebooks. I'm sure there's got to be some compatibility between the bikes.
Also, my current gearing is 14 / 48. If I go to a 13 front w/ a 48 rear, what benefit will I realize? More low-end grunt for trails is my guess, but will I give up top speed? I've seen 13 / 50 recommended as well. Any thoughts?
On other thing, my local shop as a steel front sprocket, but only aluminum rears, I'd like to stay w/ steel for the rear as well, but if I have to go w/ the alum, is there a problem w/ steel / alumin?
