i put stock size sprockets back on my 300ex last year. now it seems like i cant hold a wheelie, or even pull one, until im at pretty high revs in 1-2nd gear. clutch-less wheelies btw. would lower or higher gearing help me in this? also the gears seem to come really fast and close together,anyway to lengthen them out?

 

I have always found that lower gearing helps with wheelies, becasue it gives you more torque. But...you will of course lose top end speed as a tradeoff.

On my 400EX for example, I went down one tooth in front, and it made it wheelie happy. Any time I would stab the throtle, the front end was off the ground...it was way to much! I finally settled on one tooth bigger in back as a good compromise. Improved tight trail riding, and makes controllabe wheelies easier.

As for as your internal gearing, not much you are going to be able to do about those...

 

Was that one tooth bigger in back with the one tooth smaller in front or did you change the front back to stock

 

Front stock, and back 1 tooth bigger. I would maybe go 2 teeth, but it would be to big and rub on my skidplate.

 

Drop a tooth in front to get more wheelie happy.

Add a tooth in front to get longer gear spacing.

There is no free lunch, much less having your cake and eating it too.
