my bike is painfully slow on the trails, and I think it effects me in the deep snow too, just instant torque in 1st and 2nd and not enough track speed. seems like im hitting the rev limiter instantly in those gears and getting nowhere. I find myself in 3rd and 4th doing minor hillclimbs lots because first and second are just wayyyy too damn slow, the bike just seems to scream and only do 5 kmh in the lower gears. I think it might be my maxtrack II though... not a fan of it.
5th gear in the trails is like 2nd or maybe 3rd on my summer dirtbike. I swear it only does about 60 km/h in 5th and thats with a 520 big bore kit, pr2 tuner, TI-2 exhaust. I often find myself trying to reach for the non existent 6th gear as 5th is a turtle pace... I seriously thought I was in 3rd gear but nope, thats 5th and all shes got. sad.
what are my options here other than changing front sprocket to a smaller size for more track speed? (not sure what size it is now TBH.. bikes at the dealership)
2013 ktm 450sxf 520 big bore, brand new clutch so I know its not slipping.
2017 yeti 129.
maybe theres TOO much power and im just spinning the track everywhere?
