Hey guys,
Took the cr500 out for its first ride this weekend. Did extremely well, no issues and lots of wheelies. I can see why everyone loves em. Question:
Stock gearing I believe is 14/51 (I have an 87) and in the tighter stuff I'm in 1st gear some of the time. I'd like to change the sprocket sizes so I'm in second more often. What would you guys suggest? I do trail riding and I ride the sand dunes at Glamis. Nothing crazy so I'm not concerned about losing a little top end speed. Any ideas are much appreciated.
Thanks!
