my daughter races MX on local tracks in scal and is getting faster and hitting doubles more now.
She is complaining about the following....
the bike is OK in 3rd up hills but real bad if she shifts into 4th.

on the straights and flat sections she is in 4th and 5th and says she needs more speed.

Is there a gearing combo that I can go to that will allow her to utilize the lower end a bit more and shift less yet when she hits 4th and 5th there is plently of power? Am I asking for too much here? :)

What gearing combos and sprocket models do you race with?

Here is the bike details. She is 13 and around 80lbs.

2002 Stock 300ex motor
Sparks ev-4 with Jetting
K&N air filter no air box lid
400ex a-arms with shocks
01 raptor rear
18" ITP hole shots

Thanks much folks.
