Me and my riding buddy are always competing to see whose faster. Before when i had my 400ex all stock he would beat me on his yfz450 in our "drag races" but now i got an HMF sport series slip on, a 13 tooth front sprocket and jetted carb, hes all stock on his yfz except his is now kickstart and will have a fresh top end. Who do you guys think will win in a 500ft drag race? And idk if kick start changes the internal gears, thats why i added it.

13t gives you alot of lowend, hes gonna beat you on the topend I bet.

Yeah i know he'll get the topend but where we ride its alot of short stretches and turns so i think i might have him. also do you think i could start 3rd gear?

Maybe, 3rd might be iffy but you should be able to start in 2nd.
