islandsurfer Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 When I raced last weekend I couldn't shoot out of a turn like I needed to... I bought the the SHEE used so I am learning more about each time I clean and ride it... I noticed it has a 17 tooth front, what should I go to to help me out...17 front 42 rear and 22"tires... I want to be able to pull harder on the lower side because the track I frequent is a tight track and I ride a few trails too... Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheefreestyler Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 when you were coming out of the turns was ur but half on the seat and half on the fender to the back. i find this helps me out quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 umm, you should probably lower the gears. like to a 14 or 15 tooth front. thatd give you MUCH better low end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should help then??? 336007[/snapback] it will help tons. the tires are a little on the large side too, but those are expensive so try out the sprocket first.

Thanks 335103[/snapback] Nobody races mx with 22 rears ,get 18 or 19s . your new sprocket will make you think you just added another cylinder when it comes to acceleration.You will be shifting more on the straights.good luck and chew up some 4 pokes.

Wassup350 Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 When you come out of the corner give it a little bit of clutch floor it and let go of the clutch. You also should get some 18 inch tires and a 13 or 14 tooth front sprocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mxbanshee Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 You definately have a gearing issue but you could also work on your suspension and ridding skill... read this post on late braking into a corner!

fixitrod Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 When all that's done a lighter flywheel will help also. It allows you to brake later be there is less stored energy to push you. You have to be careful coming out of the corners though because the revs can come up to fast and cause the tires to sping to much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
