gearing

what is the best gearing for mx.

what is the best all around gearing.

14/ 40 gearing seems to be the fav. it a good all around gearing

 

[blasterboy91]

well if you want more top end then get a larger front sproket or a small rear sproket

its vis versa for less top end and more accelartion

personally i would get the bigger rear sproket and get the accelartion

Im running 14/37 on 20s and as a comparison i can out accellerate and have a higher top speed than my friends piped yz250 B-)

If you have the power, you can run a taller ratio, and still have the accelleration you like, but just have more top speed. Id like to go to a 15/36 on my blaster still but cant do it yet, i still get through the gears too quick

For a stock or lightly modded blaster just adding one tooth to the front would be a good all around gearing

how fast will 14/37 go mph?

 

[blaster1990]

yea mines slightly modded
so 14/37 would be good?

what about a 12/40 gearing? it should give it better acceleration and more power but sacrifice a few mph

 

[blasterboy91]

that would be wat i would get.because they sell alot of sh*t to gain a lot of top end power.but the only way ta gain alot of accelartion is from the sprokets

 

[Dan151]

yeah they have kits all over ebay for acceleration, top speed, or power with different gearing. i think im might just order the 12/40 gearing because i dont usual ride at top speed lol i just need more power for the sh*t i ride on

14-38 any smaller you'll need a different hub.

Heres a vid i made a while back just to give you an idea of gearing - this is 14-37 on 20s and i was doing a practice drag run. I think 14-37 is a good gearing for drag or all around riding, ive never had a problem with it. I have it jetted differently now though and can leave better so ill get a better vid today maybe. Do normal blasters get through gears fast like that? Im not sure if they do because ive never raced another blaster, i think mine has a decent amount of power though, and im a 200lb rider too. So if you have the power to pull the gears you wont be losing that much accelleration.
