Was wondering if anyone is running 12 tooth up front and 46 in rear was wondering how it performed on the tight trails asn it first gear to low?

 

I'm guessing it will be really low. The trails would have to be extremely tight, and I'm sure 1st gear would not be needed for taking off.

 

you could launch in 4th........LoL
I can launch in 3rd with a 12T

 

Before the 686, I ran 12/44 with 22" Holeshot XCTs, it was great in the woods. Had to shim the skidplate about 1/3" to clear the chain/sprocket. Gobs of torque, very easy to lift the front end over puddles, mud, logs, etc. If you go 12/46, you'll need a new chain. 12/44 is about all you'll get to fit on the stock chain.
