Big Noticable Difference?

[300EXrider02]

I have 22" razr fronts, and 22" razr rears, How much of a difference will there be if I switch to 18" kenda klaws on back and 20" klaws up front? handling? grip etc, thanks

handling will be fine, but the way it feels is going to be diffrant, as in accel/top speed

well I knwo about accel and top speed, I ahve a 14t sproket for that, I just need to know how much better or effects it will have being lower and such

If you ride the track it will sit lower, corner,slide and steer much better. Rear axle spacers are worth considering while your at it. Flip the fronts too.

A 300 with 18's, axle spacers and a 15 up front is alot more fun. I did just that to a 250x. it was much better. Looks better too!

Well, like bmw said, it will handle much better, but keep in mind that you will be dragging your swingarm much, much more than you were before, which can make trail riding a bit of a chore, and it beats up on things. There are definitely some tradeoffs.

well I still have my 22" razrs for trail riding, this is just for everything else

which makes me think, does anyone have 4 rims, for cheap, could be beat up stock or not just need to hold air...thanks

if your racing MX the klaws will be much better

thought you were not spending anymore money on that 300 and getting something bigger? well i noticed on my Razr MX's that it slides very nicely and it is very stabel taking the 5th gear berm at rausch WOT. it was like it handled on rails. bet it would of been better if i has shocks. it is a very nice feeling because if i had stockers i would be 2 wheeling in the corners even with leaning.
