superhondaman Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 Just wondering what you guy's on the 250's are running regarding gearing? Ok 9 front is generaly accepted as the norm but i still can not settle on the best rear size. I have 9/10 & 37,39,41,43 to play with. At the moment i am using 9-39.

g4321 Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 I have tried a 9 39 and 10 39 combination but found that the 9 39 was too high for me - I was tending to stall a bit in tight bends since i am not a guy whlikes to slip the clutch a lot. As an experiment I bought a 44 tooth rear sprocket to use with the 9 front (the theory being if it was too low i could use the 10 front to put it back to std). I have found the 9 44 combination easier to ride than the 9 39 and the bike is now less prone to stalling. It might be a little low in first for some riders but I do tend to ride quite slowly.
