So I bought my 96 kx250 with all new crank, bearings and seals, hodrods rod and bearing, piston and ring. I am not steering toward engine work but other woods applications. I am putting a kickstand onto it (already have it), and I am in the process of finding good metal handguards. I believe my gearing is decent where it is, nice grabby bottom end that pulls through the range better than I at first expected it to.
Here we come to my very small problem. I ride woods/cross country. In the woods the bike handles alright, but the cross country part, not so much. I am already equipped with the fmf powercore2 silencer, and was wondering if the combination of an fmf Gnarly pipe and dropping a tooth or two on the rear sprocket will solve my problem. I am just looking for a little more out of each gear at no expense of bottom end. An experienced racer that I ride with is always telling me that a flywheel weight will remove some roost power and get my tire to bite, thus making an easier ride. How do these upgrades sound?
