    Hi Green Lovers,
    Lookin for info or recommendations on gearing for the KLX250. Bear in mind I will still be commuting on it, so I don`t want her wheelstandin like my old XR did with a 52T on the rear. I remember dicking around for a few weeks with secondhand sprockets till I found the ideal size.
    Obviously you guys have done the groundwork on this one, so I thought I might as well sponge some info as I am still green as s treefrog anyway on the Kawa. :laugh:
    Any info would as usual be extremely appreciated

    CHEERS AGAIN Fellow Green Men (sounds like we are martians or somethin)

    I reckon gearing is all about personal prefernce. I reckon you change it one tooth on the front and see how you like on the road and in the bush. After that you chnage the rear if needs be to gear it up or down :)

    Chris changed his I think he replaced the stock 14 front with a 13 for the bush and it was good, but when I fitted the 300 kit he put the 14 back on as the extra power pulled the taller gearing, some of the places we went yesterday tested your gearing, did I tell it was a great ride!

    I recommend 12 for the back ;)

    Eagle – Make sure you try the new gearing in the bush as you may find the new ratio in between gears for thelargest part of the terrain you ride. There’s nothing more annoying than always being in the wrong gear and flicking up and down like a tart’s knickers….

    No Worries,
    Looks like I might be dicking around again like with the old XR till I find a happy medium.
    Just have to have a couple of spare sprockets around again I guess
