13/50 gearing on FE450?

Scott · Jul 6, 2008

Has anyone tried 13/50 gearing on an FE450? I have been running 14/50 and it is fine but there are times in the really tight stuff that a bit lower gearing would be better.

I used to run 13/50 or 13/52 on my KTM450s with good luck.

I really dont care about top speed. As long as the bike will cruise along at 90km/h is fine by me.

I run 13/50 on my Fe400 for tight woods riding and find it good. I can pull 2nd with a little clutch action most places and get better traction as a result.

I use 13/50 gearing for technical mountain riding, works great. It will go 55mph but she's screaming.

I run this as well on my 400 and find it perfect for muddy/woodsy technical riding.

I run 13/48 on my 450, I think it is a tad too much even for tight woods.
