gearing

I bought a 550 a while back, and I'm doing some testing. On my home track 15-38 is a tad too light. I need a slightly heavier gearing. When that is said. I don't use 6th now, which I'd like to. I use a Close ratio 6-speed box. I don't know the ratio in the box. Does anyone know what gearing...

So 14/50 on the 06 Fe550e is so good for real enduro woods trails, very nice, it shortens the distance from 1-3 and I see 4th gear now! ..... but the bike is not as jedi berg fast as before, now it kinda fights the gears rather then speed up into each one. I can see how a racer would want...

Ok my stock gearing was 14/48 wow never saw 2nd gear even :lol: 8O haha on week 2 of ownership I dropped the CS one tooth to 13/48 at the advice of celticdude. been at 13/48 for a year now. Yes 13/48 is nice......but I never see 4th gear. so what? hey if the bike is beautiful...

Anyone have any sugestions on sprocket sizing for the street ? Currently running a 16x40 . Needing to replace my rear sprocket so I thought I'd ask the people here . I dont know how accurate my trailtech is but my bike pinned reads 126mph. I also dont need it to do more than 100. As...

Hi I am wanting to put new gearing on a KTM 450 2006 we will be riding alot of rocky mountains full of steep inclines and declines and creek crossings. Victorian High Country Australia. What gearing should i be running 14/50? Anyone have any experience riding a 450 up the victorian...

So I ended up with a complete 19" rear wheel by mistake. The price was right so I kept it with the idea of putting an 18" rim on it I am a regular on the ice and I remembered that it was easier to get 19" ice tires (since all the moto bike use them) than it was to get 18". Perfect, I'll...

2002 FS650e with 17" road wheels: just did a test tonight and got 7250rpm at 82mph in 6th gear. This seems a little high revving to me. I have 13 tooth sprocket on the front and 42 on the back. Should I increase to 15 teeth on the front and would it fit? as there doesn't seem to be much...

Hi folks, What should the standard gearing be for my 2000 FC600? Mine came with a huge front sprocket and a small rear sprocket like it might have been used for supermoto or something. I barely get it out of 3rd gear around the local tracks (Still another 3 to go!). Cheers, Ross

With 15 x 48 on my 550 - 05 Fc Berg,what would that be on a KTM 525? The gearing is not the same internaly and if anybody knows what the variation is that would help? Thanks

Hi what gearing do you think I should start with for a '07 FE650 for a top speed of around 170-180 kmh in desert racing with not too much heavy sand

Most of you know I am a big guy who found my Fe450 to be a fantastic woods bike, but coming up short in the Desert. Well actually I now have discovered the 450 is a great Desert and open bike too. It was not coming up short at all. It was coming up TALL. Trouble with a newbie rider like me...

I am back from a 2 hour ride on tight and gnarly trails and I had a couple difficulties in the slower stuff finding the right gear. Already have written Santa to ask him for a Rekluse, which should help with the stalling (I may have stalled 4 times, always at the best moment, of course)...

I have just changed gearing from 14 x 48 to 15 x 48 and find it a little tall. Can you place a 49 on the back without modifying the chain guide as it looks close with the 48? Thanks for the help,

Anyone know stock sprocket sizes for a 96 fc 501. looking tobuy a set of highway gears for it

I was just concidering a bike event that consists of fairly open terrain and requires top end speed, I have an 04 fe550 ,I run a 16-48 gearing which will give me a top end of approx...

This is just a "satisfy my curiosity "type of question.I was reading JZFE's post and he mentioned his 13/52 gearing on his 06 fe450.My 05 fe550 had 15/48.I just changed it to 14/48 as it was too tall in the realy slow going stuff(it will almost idle along with no clutch now).Are the internal...

I ride alot of tight deep sand and then some open stuff where i want to open it up. What sort of gearing should i run? I am currently using 16/45 its ok but i think abit tall (have standard oring 520chain) am currently running a 110 wide tyre on back instead of 120. Anyone who rides that...

Wants to know what you guys with 05 or 06 650 use for gearing on them in the mountains with goat trails and steep climbs.

At the moment i have 15/50 its an 03 550 53 cam 30 37 valves 18 inch rear rim, this will be for woods type ridding could you tell me what you run please. cookeye :wink:

what sprockets are you guys running for woods and the tighter off road stuff? staying with the stockers? I'm not sure of my countersprocket size, 14? but my rear is 48. I find the bike to be very well mannered in the woods, but was surprized to find myself on some pavement last weekend to...
