I run 22x11x8 and have the stock sproket on back and a 12 tooth on the front. What do you all think is the best way to do things?

 

dont ride in the sand

 

I have 12/42 and really like it as of right now. Im just piped and jetted with 20x10x8 8 paddle haulers and I really like the set-up. Yamaha4eva I couldnt live without riding in the sand.

 

Hossblur if your going to race up hills you want to add a few in the back depending on hill size and tire size..... buy a cheap metal sprocket for 15 bucks like a 42 then see what you think...... worst it could cost you is 50 bucks or so to get it right.......

 

I just changed my rear, now running 12/42, with 22-11-10, dirt and sand. With the 12/40 on 22's, you lose alittle bottom but gain top, for the hills and trails a 42 will get you back where you were before. If I'm not correct on this, somebody can call me on it.

 

I think that's what i want to try,i want a 42 on the rear with a 12 on front,i am running stock gearing right now but havent tried the engine out on the hils at Dumont or Glamis...

I like the 12 when i had a pipe and jet kit,now i can pull thid with the stock gearing buit i want to hit the sweet part of third hopefuly with the 12/42..what do you guy's think

 

I went up one in the front and dropped two in the rear for 13-38. With a full BG pipe and jets/filter I really enjoyed the increased top end for flying across the dunes. I also ran paddles, and found when dragging I grabbed my holeshots when starting in first. Caused some wheel spin, but second was now too tall. Maybe if I had a good clutch...... Dirtwheels did a good article a few months back on gearing and engine mode combos.

 

Raptor03 I got an example of gearing for the 12/42 for ya. At winchester bay theres a hill there thats rumored 400 - 500 ft tall (probably pretty true) and it goes through the trees so you do have to let off but anyways with a 12 tooth up front I could on pull second by the top and now with the 12/42 gearing I can flat out haul a$$ up that hill. Im pinned in 3rd if I really wanna fly up it or I can just come out a pretty sharp corner and just ride a wheelie up the rest in 3rd pretty easily. I duno if that helps ya tho cuz you gotta 686 ....

 

that's what was recomended for me so i will have to try,havent tried the power on big hills but i have a good idea what I can pull up the hills i race at,but i have to figure out which gearing get's me there faster...

 

I run a 13 44 and pull fourth up sand mountain here in Utah. I pull third up the steep dunes but I've beat trinity's 727 and a few 690's both with FCR's and I still run stock carbs.
