Hi. please can somebody give me some advise on gearing specs for dune riding. I spend 90% of my time in the desert with the odd camel path to burn it. but mostly hoping over dunes and camel grass to get from A to B. so torque is what i want. what about jetting?

Gearing is a trade off between accelleration and top speed. You pretty much have to decide for yourself what you want more. Stock gearing is a good place to start. If you want more top speed add a tooth to the countershaft sprocket, if you want more accelleration at the expense of top speed drop a tooth.
Jetting is something you'll have to do on your own. You might look up "plug check" or "plug chop" in the search feature to see how to check jetting.

Thanks for the info. I see a lot of the guys are dropping to a 14T front sprocket. Give that a bash and see how much top end I lose. I’m currently getting 107km/h
