iI do a lot of trail riding and need advice on taming the crf450 for tight trails.Would a heavier flywheel or a bigger rear sprocket work the best?Also has anyone seen a light kit for this bike?

I also have a CRF is use for trails. I'm feeling the need for about 2 teeth larger on the rear sproket, and if your bike is like mine I could go for a FWW as well. Steahly offers a 9oz weight for our bike at $100. I'm going to try the larger rear sproket first(mostly cause the budget only allows the cheaper mod 1st 
) and if it still needs more calming I'll go for the FWW. I did notice that the weight from steahly is not a bolt on, you have to drill your existing weight and then bolt it in place. I just worry about it throwing the balance off.........Just some thoughts. As for the lighting kit I haven't seen one, but I'd wait till the CRF250X comes out and maybe they'll be interchangable.

www.trailtech.net has 9, 11, & 13oz flywheel weights for about $100. They replace the entire flywheel so need to worry about drilling or balance. Best part is they use some kind of "rare earth" magnet and claim with an aftermarket lighting stator will produce almost 100watts verse about 40watts with the aftermarket stator alone. I bought the 11oz but haven't had the chance to use it yet.
