im in the process of making a track and racing my 400 on a dirt track. it will jus be an oval. im gettin some tires but what else is it that will make it better on dirt?.. any adjustments or anything u can do? differnt sprockets or something for acceleration?... any ideas would be great. thanks..

 

put 18's on and change the gearing put either wheel spacers in or get a diff rear axel thats wider and diff a-arms in the front. i would put a pipe and rev box and air filter on if u dont have one already and that.

P.S. welcome to the forums

 

i was looking at some 18x9.5-8s...

so wheel spacers will help to make it wider im guessin? and would that be gearing too? and i have a pipe, air box lid/filter, rev box, and jet kit. thanks good to be here!

 

spacers make the back tires out wider but its alot better to jsut get an diff axel caz the spacers have a chance of cracking but what ever fits ur budget and to change the gearing u have to change ur sprokets but it all depends if ur doing flat track or not.

 

oh ok... yeah this is jus for fun for the time being. no race or anything - i trail ride alot too so guess makin it wider would be a bad idea. sprockets is an idea tho...

 

making it wider aint a bad idea but it might be a lil tighter fit on some trails but if u gonna trail ride dont get flat track tires like hte ones u were looking at on e-bay go with a pair of razrs. The gearing will help on both track and trail

 

yeah its kinda tight now on some... but im jus gonna have 2 sets. gettin rims and all so i can just change em out. what kinda gearin should i get? sprocket with more or less teeth?

 

my sprokets all have less teeth then the stock. i only geared the front sproket down 1 tooth thoe and the back more

 

oh ok... does it even make a noticible difference?

 

and if i change one or both of the sprockets will i need a new chain?
