2004 fe450 sprockets to aid stalling whilst lugging around

MrD · Oct 28, 2019

Hi all, had my berg since may this year and i love it. Really fills me with confidence at enduro and technical routes compared to the kx250 it replaced.
Im just wondering what are people running sprocket wise to aid stalling at low revs?
I use it for green laning and abit of fun at the local quarry.
Thanks in advance

It's not bad on standard sprockets 14 - 48 if the jetting is right. I did try a 52 rear for silly stuff but changed back to 48 after a while as this suits most stuff.
Mine would stall when cracking the throttle to get up steps or over logs, left me hanging over the bars a couple of times. After some jets and advice from Taffmeister it was transformed and the horrible stall eliminated.
Good luck.

always felt a 13t front helped a lot in the tight stuff.

13 is reasonable but I wouldn't go any smaller than that - too small and you start having problems with the chain eating into the chain guide and swingarm.

Thabks for the replies so far, i will check my sprockets tomorrow to see if they are standard.
Jetting wise, it does stutter when in neutral and rev it to WOT. cant feel it whilst riding though
