OK, I searched this site for info on gearing and I still have a question.
I think my gearing is 20/39 on my 2004 Venom 600. I want to get more acceleration, I don't care too much about the top end. So people tell me I need to go down a tooth or two on the top sprocket, but nobody tells me what 1 tooth versus 2 teeth will do and what they are suited for.
If I go down 1 tooth, it should be OK for trails, correct? If I go down 2 teeth, will it be better in powder? I need to know what going down 1 tooth will get me versus 2 teeth.
I ride mostly groomed trails, but ever time I go out I'll jump off the trails and surf the powder, then jump back on the trails again. So should I go down 2 teeth on the top sprocket, or just go down 1 tooth?
FYI, I'm getting a 51/43 helix as well.
Many thanks..
Roger.
