13/49 gearing
Does anyone know if I can run 13/49 gearing with the stock chain on a 2005 KDX 220? I think 12/47 will be a bit low for me.
Thanks,
John

no prob jb.mostly tight single track with a lot of ups and downs.stock gearing 2nd and 3rd seemed a bit to high,the 49 made it perfect for me with no real noticeable loss in the top end for the occasional fire road,J$.

update
I installed the 49t sprocket last weekend, and really like the combo (13/49). 1st gear isn't so low that it's unusable, and the gearing ratio seems to be much better. I think 12/47 would have been a little low. Also, I had to add two links to my chain (108 to 110), and my snails are on 7.

That must be one stretched out chain!
