Cross country Gearing?

What do you think is the best gearing for woods racing on a 450r? I just my bike about a month ago and am starting to get it ready for 2005. so im just trying to get some ideas.

for stock motor setup try 13-38 with 22" rear tires

i wil be using 20inch tires in the rear so what do you think i should go with taht

I like the 13 tooth front sprocket with 20" tires for XC. Add skid plates and some 6 ply tires and you are ready to go.

I like the stock gearing with a HMF full system it's got alot of bottom end 13/38 might be good for play riding and climbing hills but racing you will be slower and be passed by the YFZ

everyone i know uses 13/39 gearing, i may put the 38 back on since i got an auto clutch though.
