tony283 Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Assuming nobody has altered the standard of 13/53 all you need to do is change the front sprocket to 12T, a very simple operation. Do not be tempted to go to 11T ! Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 One tooth is not much assuming that you are still running 428 chain. Tony I assume an 11t rubs? You may need to go up on the back too. Problem is the too tight of sections for the older bikes. I had the same problem last weekend on a 348 Cota.

guy53 Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 I have been running 12 / 55 on mine for years and I like it, I had the chance to try different combinations and this fit OK. Guy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feetupfun Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 12/53 is what I use. 13/53 is OK too if you don't mind using the clutch here and there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badams Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 I run a 10/44 with a 520 chain on mine and it is geared very well for. On my spare ty it has 12/35 and it is terrible for trials riding. On my mono it is 12/42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbird Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Hey; Thanks for the help. I have two ty 250s both have 14/53 I assume they are stock? The 12/55 or 10/44 have close ratio and a big difference from what I have now, Can't wait to try it. Thanks again Jbird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
