14 tooth sprocket not good idea

[rap169]

i have a 250x which i put a 14 tooth sprocket on the front today. I dont think its a good mod. dont get me wrong, preformace wise, i like it, but i cant get the case saver to fit back in. Thats the part i dont like. I would feel safer if i had it in there. So canput the 13 back up front and change the rear sprocket to make the gearing like the 14 was? I think the sprocket in the rear is 36 or 38. I know its stock gearing. Any body have any tips?

Try to take a gringer to the case saver, and try to make it fit.;)

yup. Going up one tooth in the front is like going down three teeth in the rear. It won't be exact, but you'll be close.

thank you very much, i would rather do that then risk runing my case.
thanks again. Has anybody else tried this? Is this the better opion to go. I think the stock is 38, but does anybody know for sure? Thanks

on my 400ex, i just grinded down the case saver a little bit. i don't know the factory size rear sprocket but you can just look at yours and count. a 400ex has 15/38 from the factory. on the 400ex, 1 tooth in the front is about 2.5 teeth in the rear. i am actually running two teeth smaller in the rear for a little more top speed. going down two teeth in the rear sounds like a good choice for you. however, it is cheaper to buy a front sprocket than the rear. i just got an aluminum renthal rear and it was $65.00. i did get a deal though because my friend works at the dealer.

Yeap,
I grinded dowm my case saver to fit my 14 tooth on my 300ex.

Perfect fit and there is still alot of metal left on it. Just take a grinder to it.

thanks
