what would the best gearing be for my 03 ds650? i have 22" front and 20" rear tires. I do all types of riding. sand pits, dirt hard pack, snow etc. I love to drag race. I mostly drag on dirt of hard pack. What would the best gearing set up be for the best possible acceleration without loosing to much on the top. I dont want to be able to kill them off the line then top out to fast so the other guy goes flying by me.

 

i just got back from silver lake, and ran stock fronts, 22 inch paddle rears, and used a 14 tooth CT. i wish i could do somthing in between the 14 and 15 without going to the rear....

but 14 seems to be just a little on the low side..... i rode on it with my stock rear tires for a few minutes and i hit the rev limiter (i have a big gun cdi so the limit is like 2k over stock!) in EVERY gear on GRASS! total tire spin.... id suggest a 15 and then go to the rear if you want to fine tune it.

 

ya a buddy of mine has stock rear tires and a 15t front sprocket. He said its pretty good. what else do you think would work??

Roost...how did the 14T do at the dunes with the 22" paddles?

 

top speed was pretty low.... my friend with a warrior and stock tires with one tooth down on the CT was only about 5mph or so slower than me!

Im thinking im going to put the 15 on, because i was shifting a LOT....2nd gear was way too low, 3rd gear was ok, but i sometimes found myself consantly shifting between 3rd and 4th.... (3rd used to be my overall duning gear....so with the 15 i should still be able to use it without winding it out too quickly)

i could holeshot just about everything out there as well [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
