im running the 13/40 combo right now and im getting smoked by 450s at LS on comp and spectator hills dont know if it is my gearing or what. On the trails i find myself in 3rd gear most of the time 1st is unusable as is 2nd gear 2 much rpms third gear is good when i keep the rpms up but most of the time it isnt as snappy as i would like it to be . im runing 20s on the dirt and in the sand im running 22s but i am going to be switching to 20s for the sand to keep everything the same. This is the gearing it had when i bought the bike it had 5 rides on it couldnt pass up the deal. you can see my mods below but was wondering if changing my gearing would help. i weigh 265 pounds.

well go with a higher gearing and try it...try a 15 front or 14...im about same weight..and stock i think first is really too low ...i havent tryed 15 yet though was waiting on first mods

or a 14/39 or 38 with 22"s

stock gearing 14/38 works well with a couple of mods.....
check out my stuff in the for sale area......its just the gearing that affecting u, go w/stock and launch in 2nd

Yeah it is for sure the gearing... Go back up to 14/15T and you should be able to launch 2nd... I have the monsters, stage 2, dynatec, and intake with a 40T stock front and i weigh 250 and im launching 2nd, pulling 4th pretty easily!!

imma try the 14 tooth friday and see what happens. I seen your stuff for sale DL700 but i got a +4 swingarm so that chain wouldnt work, if you was wanting 2 part with just just the sprockets i would be interested

I think it a really mild steel. It didn't look like aluminum.

Yep, 36 mm .... everything is metric, no SAE on these machines.

 

[kamakazi]

36mm

That would equal to about 36.5 mm so it would work but be slightly too big and could damage the nut in time.

Just to let you know we used a big cresent wrench to change ours at camp. Wrked pretty good for us but I'm going to check it before the next trip out.
