ride em Posted April 8, 2010 hey all... i just bought a new 2002 ktm 250 exc. Its a sweet bike but i want to gear it down a ltitle for trails. it has 14 50 gearing on it currently. I am wondering what would be the ideal gearing for tight trails and lugging? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racer38 Posted April 8, 2010 I use to run 13/52 for New England, then went to 14/52 with the Rekluse clutch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike in Fresno Posted April 9, 2010 (edited) I would try a 13 front first since its cheaper and easier. I use 13-52 on my 300 EXC. Edited April 9, 2010 by Mike in Fresno Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirtbeater Posted April 9, 2010 13/52 is the ticket, first gear is bail out. I dont dur much high speed stuff so you have to realize you are lowering your top speed a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
