how many people geared down the yfz???

I mainly trail ride, drag race, and hill climb.

I was thinking going to a 13tooth front sproket would be a good setup for me.


also I am planning on getting a pipe.. dont know which pipe i may get a gytr if i get a warranty hopefully yamie will stand behind there own products.



Dirtwheels says you can beat a 450 dirtbike, and i cant beat a 250 yamaha


mine also luged when i tried to take off in second.. (not doing that no more)

i did beat a z 400 but he kept up i mean i wasnt running away or anything he was like a quad or so behind me.


I still havent raced no raptors or banshees or my friends 450r... Which has a pipe on it now so i probably will get beat.. :( :D

I like my HMF for a pipe
I'm getting ready to go down a tooth in the front sprocket so I'll let you know on that one.
2nd gear starts rev it higher move up on the seat and dump it.:macho
Do the cam mod it makes a big difference.:devil:

Like Catsmost said ride it hard believe it or not I notice the harder I push it the better it performs. I personally like the 13th sprocket for the riding I do which sounds similar to your situation. It only takes a few minutes to try it so give it a whirl.
