performance wise my bike is bone stock, what is the gearing you stock 300 guys are running? i am running 14 38 now and it feels much better than stock, i was looking for a more usable 2nd and 3rd gear, but it did just what i wanted in 2nd but 3rd is worse, i am thinking about waiting untill i get my pipe/silencer/filter, then seeing what goes from there, what are you guys with just basic mods like i state pipe filter? what about people with 330/350 kits and other basic mods? i am trying to get a feel for this, i am racing harescrambles if that helps you guys out, i just didnt like the way 2nd gear was not usable and 3rd was a little to short, i like torq and need quick acceleration. i rev my bike out i dont lug it usually

I use either 13/36 or 14/36 depending on riding conditions.

When I was mostly stock, I ran 12/36 or 13/36.

I run 22" tires also.

Usually use 13/36 fo 90% of my riding.
