I think those are stock sizes on the 200. the "right" ratio will depend on your riding style, where are you having a problem? Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proc Posted November 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 (edited) on normal sections it's fine but the bigger hill climbs second isn't enough but third is too much if you understand what i'm saying? i tend to do most stuff in first unless it's muddy or a decent climb Edited November 15, 2010 by proc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The larger displacement bikes use a 41 or 42 rear sprocket, you might ask a mate to borrow his/her 42T sprocket to see if that's what you need rather than buying a new one. I think GasGas also has a 9T countershaft sprocket if you want to go lower and you could easily swap that on the bike for those Trials that have the nasty hillclimbs. Trials is one of the very few motorcycle competitions where we usually run the same gearing for all the venues we encounter so don't be afraid to change gearing for a specific event.
