What gearing do I need to get?

[honda250x]

I bought an 88 kit with a race head and was wondering what a good gearing set up would be? I all ready purchased a 15t front sprocket do I need to change the rear sprocket also?

thank you

i run 16/37 in the dirt, and 16/30 on the go kart track, never had a problem yet (except for slow starts on the kart track! )

I run 15/37... plenty of speed with awesome power

15/37 is a 2.46 ratio for the final drive... I run a 16/34 (2.125) because I like a little more top speed and don't need the "off the line" pull...

So much depends on weight and riding style... Get several sprockets so you can decide what works best for your style.

I weigh 165... I ride like every thing! Trails, tracks, hill climbs, etc. I just want an all around gear ratio not to much of any thing.
