If his gearing was stock your toast. If he just geared down one tooth your still toast.

yeah he is only geared down one tooth. I don't know though you really think the raptor will smoke me in top speed? i know it's the almighty raptor but still. Anyone second his opinion?

that's what i thought you guys would say, i already raced him and i pulled away by a lot. it doesn't come down to the better rider cause it doesn't take a whole lot of experience to hold the throttle down on a road. my top speed was much better and i would say with the speed that i passed him at that i was at least a few miles per hour faster.

13/41 is the set up for mx/dunes.So I got both and gona try them out this weekend.Whats your input on the rear sprocket change?
