[QUOTE="MWEISSEN, post: 819100, member: 16873"] Terry, my years of experience are broken into two parts of my life. The first part is ages 12-18, when I was the fastest and stupidest. Fortunately I never hurt myself badly, and while going to high school rode EVERY SINGLE DAY for a couple of years. The second half of my riding experience is from 39 to 47, my current mode. I had to relearn a lot, since bikes are a lot different than they were in the 70's. Lately with my health issues, riding is savored even more, and my speed capability seems to be dropping exponentially. Anyway, back to your bike. The low gearing, if it suits you, is fine. If you can swing it, go back to the 13 tooth sprocket and up the rear to like a 54 or 55. This drops the strain that the 12 tooth countershaft would cause. A friend of mine also rides a CRF450, and he's turned the idle up to prevent stalling the engine from using the rear brake. [/QUOTE]
