I went to a local MX track today to get some practice in. I'd never riden this track on my Raptor and found it odd that my stock gearing on 20" tires was a little off. First gear was always too short and second could be too tall on a couple corners, especially if I slide in too hard and on a couple short straights I shifted up to third, but it really was too soon. Long story short, I lugged the crap out of my engine all day long, the great thing about the Raptor engine is that it is torquey and will power out of it, but I lugged it a little more often and a little harder than I like today. So the question is: how bad is lugging the Raptor engine really? What's gonna break first if I keep going to that track? If I keep going to that track I'm gonna maybe put a 40 rear sprocket on and then second wouldn't lug so bad, first is too low.
I know I can slip the clutch, but I've really gotten out of the habit of slipping the clutch much since I've gotten the Raptor. The torque has spoiled me.
