[QUOTE="MWEISSEN, post: 819051, member: 16873"] Terry, it sounds like you've really done a lot to your 450. They are really nice bikes, and it sounds like, for the most part, you're going in the right direction. I installed a 10oz flywheel made by Steahly, and it has done wonders for the bike, along with the different pipe and exhaust manifold. I'm really not planning on doing much else on the motor, but may gear UP one tooth on the countershaft (from 13 to 14) to open up the ratios a little. I agree with Woodsy in that a 12 tooth sprocket is a pretty tight sprocket. I'm a little surprised that you're still finding first and second gear a little high. I've ridden a couple of CRF 450's and the gearing seemed OK. In really tight, slow-speed stuff, clutching would be an expected thing. Are you still experiencing stalling with the flywheel? You may want to bound up the idle setting just a touch. Also, have you gone to an aftermarket pipe? The FMF Q might be something to look at. We'll have to get toghether and ride sometime soon, as soon as my doc can figure out this fever/cramping thing. [/QUOTE]
