Whats everyone runing for gearing on there 440's? Its a mx set up.. Right now I'm going to be putting a 15 up front and stock size in the back ( sorry dont know the size of the rear spocket off the top of my head). But I also got a 16 tooth for up front just to see how fast I can make her go.. and what has everyone been having luck with for chains? Thanks

For mx I usually use a 16 front and stock rear with 18inch tires.

My 440 will pull 15/36 gearing well(stock is 15/38). On the MX track it does good and it is still able to pull well on Competition Hill at Dumont.

Hey Kyle,

Ive been thinking of going to a 16t up front to try but I really dont see how it would fit with a case saver. My 15t is hard to install with my Nac's case saver. Im sure you wouldnt be running without a case saver, so does it fit or did you shave yours down some?

My baldwin case saver worked fine. You could always grind some off where yours dont fit.

15/36 works pretty good too. I like the 16/38 cause it revs out a little longer though.
