    gearing on ltr?

    What does everyone run for gearing on the ltr? I have 18s in the rear and 20s in the front. I'm buying new sprockets and I'm not quite sure what size to get. I race motocross so the gearing will be set for that. Any recommendations?

    fyi- your front tire size doesnt change your gearing at all...

    If you are getting new sprockets i would recommend going up 3 teeth in the rear before dropping 1 in the front, you have about the same gearing change but you will extend your chain life because your chain doesn't have to go around an even smaller circle in the front. If you are racing on fast tracks go for the 3 teeth up in rear, because come on who goes 70mph on a moto track? but if your tracks are tight and supercross like i would go down 1 in front and up 1 or 2 in the rear. My set-up for next year is up 3 in the rear, i race mostly fast tracks though.

    you need 2 different sets of sprockets, one set of down one tooth in front 2 up in rear(for indoor) and one set of stock front, up three in the rear(for outdoor) but if you only race a couple indoors it really isn't worth the money most people dont change their sprockets for indoor but it all depends on the cash flow.
