I am posting this info for anyone that does a lot of high speed trail riding.I do a
lot of trail riding and drag racing so I put a 36 tooth rear sprocket on my 450R and
I am sooo impressed.As for loss of bottom end,no problem.Actually I can get the holeshot better now because it won't
wheelie as bad.Now that is not to say I can't wheelie,I can still bring it up in 3rd
with ease,4th needs a little assistance by me.I have read many posts about the 13 tooth front sprocket which is great for tight technical trails and mxing.If your biggest concern is beating banshees you
will love this setup.(this thing flies now).I
have the HMF BB sig series pipe on order
because it makes great torque low and mid which will equal everything out (the
hrc kit takes some away).By the way the
rear sprocket on 400ex is the same as 450R just different tooth count and have the same part #s so finding one is easy.The front is the same as CRF450.Ijust thought I would let ya'll
know about how this worked out for me because I know there is a lot guessing and assuming that goes on.
My biggest concern when I was considering this was that with the already tall first gear it would make it a
lot worse but now I wouldn't go bacfor all the tea in china.Hope this helps someone,have fun!
