ok i bought a 06 KTM SMR560 which is set-up for road racing with 14-42 gearing. 1st gear requires lots of revving/clutch slip to get going because its just so danm high of a gear. So im just looking for some advice on which size rear sprocket to go with??? Im thinking somwhere from 50-60 tooth. Prolly a 55? I would like to have 1st/2nd gear as low as possible for super slow speed wheelies. But i would also like to have a 5th/6th gear capable of cruising at 45-50 MPH without revving to the moon. Advice? Im plannning on doing a weld job to the subframe with a 12 bar and stunt pegs'

Can anybody recommend a hand brake?

 

come on does nobody here stunt a sumo?

 

Ryan Moore does

 

dont need over 50 tooth on the rear....

 

I ran 50 teeth on my CRF450R racer and my XR650R and the gearing wasnt anywhere near low enough.

I want 1st gear to be a creeper....any suggestions? I quess ill just go with a 60

 

all ktm sprockets are the same bolt holes so see what you can get from a dealer

 

50 rear -3 in the front if you really want it to be low

 

Can you really run an 11 tooth up front? i think im going with a 55 tooth...everybody tells me i dont need over 50, but i see stunters running 60's

Will a 120 link chain work with a 55 tooth rear?

 

streetbikes are geared internally higher then most dirtbikes run a 55 maybe 60 if you are tech and like doing circles like ryan moore

 

first, streetbikes are geared taller. second, when youre wanting to go down to a 13 or 12 tooth in the front(if thats possible), that makes the ratio a hell of a lot higher.

there is a gearing table i made recently. look at what the ratio is when youre running a 12/60 combo as opposed to a 15/60 combo. that is a HUGE difference. I just hate to see you gear it so low that you cant ride it at all on the street.
