i got the bike with 13/39 but i think thats too low, but then again ive never raced xc before.i was thinking of going 14/38.
really dont know whats done to the motor internally but its got a 38mm carb and 20" holeshot xcr's. what would u guys reccomend?

14/38 works good for moto X

Lou I'd leave it the way it is for now. Ride the mofo a bunch in the woods especially were there's lots of hill climbs and get used to it..

Send Rowlrag a PM and ask him what's been done to the motor...I believe it's got reeds and the pipe and thats about all..Rowlrags a good dude and a mechanic,,he'll answer all your questions I"m sure..

Ahh, Decided to try a little XC, eh? I kinda figured by your comments in the XC pics thread that you'd never raced one before...

Anyhow...

I run 16/38 gearing and 20" rear tires on my EX - 13/39 or 14/39 will probably work well on an R depending on how the engine's power is.

Just remember, if those trees get to moving too fast, just slow down, no biggie. LOL...
