I have been running 13/50 with my 220 because most of the terrain I ride it very tight steep stuff.
But, after the RB mods, I noticed I can run a gear higher with ease and lug the thing like my old XR400.
So, I was thinking of going back to a 47 on the rear. Hoping to open things up a bit and get a little more speed on top for desert type events.
I dont want to lose any grunt though, it is too much fun to wheelie in 3rd gear when rolling on the throttle
Gearing change after RB mods? Anyone done this?

I run a 12/47 all the time around here as the terrain doesn't support running anything else. When we goto the desert I switch out the 12t for a 13t and voila i'm ready to run the higher speeds. Cheap and easy.
