Any steel sprocket. I would try bumping the front sprocket up to a 14 or maybe even a 15.

alum sprokets get ate up fast, my 261 sheared 6 teeth off an alum one, i run 13-37 in mx, but my track is 4th on one part tops, try 13-36 or 14-37 or something

when i had my 310 i was running 14/36 i had put on a 13/36 once, totally forgot i did that and went to the track and thought i fried my clutches....finally figured out i was at the top of my motor and thats all she had :D went back to the 14/36

i have a 265R and i run 14/37. only use steel sprockets unless u can afford to replace the aluminum after every race. nacs has good deals for chain and sprocket setups (i think they give u the countershaft free when u buy a complete set)

i run 14/36 on my r ive found it works very well for me,all steel sprokets too.

what would be a good gearing for a 400ex on a mx track

i used to run the same thing on my 400ex 14-36
