What size rear sprocket should I get? Rm 85L

[Kaleq550]

Hi, I have recently been thinking about gearing my 2003 rm 85L a little bit better for the type of riding I do and was wondering what size rear sprocket you guys think would work good. I like to do slow technical hill climbs with some fast steep hills, right now when I try to do any really slow steepish hills my bike just kinda bogs and I have to keep it revved up pretty high to make it. I'd like to be able to go a lot slower.

I also ride on the road a lot though and don't want to sacrifice to much speed.

Right now I'm running a 47T sprocket what size should I get? Thanks.

I wouldn't go much more than 1 or 2 teeth on the rear. It will rev out faster, effectively shortening the power band and require more frequent shifting.

The little RM is torquey for its size but RPM is the name of the game with small bore 2 strokes. They need to rev to make usable power.

Ok I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!
