Just noticed my gearing

[KlxRider26]

and WOW, It has a 47 tooth rear sprocket, Im in the desert and Im running a 14 tooth front sprocket. Even with a 365 kit and EVERY mod that you can possibly do is that gonna lug the motor too much with my 230 pound a$$ on it?? Havent rode it much as its getting a freshen up. Should I shoot for a 49 or 50 tooth rear??

I don't know...gearing can be quite peferential depending on conditions. Maybe I missed it, but what bike are we talking about...KLX300, KLX250S, or what?

[KlxRider26]

Oh sorry, Its a KLX300 with a Stroker 365 kit, FCR35, WEB 101 Cams, Full Big Gun exhuast, 100/100 18 MX51 rear tire.

If that motor setup won't haul the mail with a 47 tooth sprocket then somebody screwed up the motor build! My 300 with just a pipe and pumper carb is already down to a 44 on the rear (for dual sporting) and it motors me around just fine. Granted I'm only 160, but the 365 should be a monster.

If I recall, the 300 and 250S may have different overall gearing in the tranny and in the external sprockets as delivered...yes?

Well it was not exactly a wheelie machine when I got to ride it before It seized the lower rod bearing. But It did have power and would make me smile. It had a REALLY screwed up and pitted cylendar and the rings where pretty much GONE so im hoping with the new valves and fresh bore with new rings that it will come back to life.
