Sprocket setup

OK...I ride in the woods mostly...I will have FMF pipe set & proper jet set only for now...The rest of the bike is pretty much stock.

 

I ordered me a 13 front and a 43 Rear...??? I have 22" tires...

Personally, I think that'll be a PITA in the woods, being too low. You'll be shifting a lot. I'd try 14/40 to 15/41 and see if one of those works best for you.

 

In my experience in the woods, stretching the gears makes it easier and me faster rather than a lower gear that causes me to shift a lot. With my portwork, I'm at a 15/38 and it works great that way ( a 15/38 is equal to a 16/41). Before with my stock motor and FMF pipes, I ran a a15/41 and it worked great for me. You'll probably using a gear lower than you did before, but you should be able to pull it longer.

 

My opinion.

Let me add that in the really really tight stuff, I'd run a 15/42. I'd just switch out the rear and be flyin again. That'd gear it a tad lower, just enough that I could hold 3rd gear in the tighter stuff.

 

I like the 15 front and just swap out rears to gear it the way I need. Although, I need to take a link out to get the chain tightened just right for the 15/38, chain's a tad loose right now, so I might go back to a 15/39.

 

Gearing is all personal preference and trial 'n error. Put on the 15/41 and it may be perfect, or maybe a tad too high for what you want, just try it and then see.
