November 15, 201015 yr i'm on with changing the chain an sprockets on my '00 200 at the mo it's running a 10t front and a 44t rear was just wondering if this was the best set up or should i change sizes?

I think those are stock sizes on the 200. the "right" ratio will depend on your riding style, where are you having a problem? Jon
November 15, 201015 yr Author on normal sections it's fine but the bigger hill climbs second isn't enough but third is too much if you understand what i'm saying? i tend to do most stuff in first unless it's muddy or a decent climb Edited November 15, 201015 yr by proc
November 15, 201015 yr on normal sections it's fine but the bigger hill climbs second isn't enough but third is too much if you understand what i'm saying? i tend to do most stuff in first unless it's muddy or a decent climb I'm guessing you may want to use a slightly higher ratio. The larger displacement bikes use a 41 or 42 rear sprocket, you might ask a mate to borrow his/her 42T sprocket to see if that's what you need rather than buying a new one. I think GasGas also has a 9T countershaft sprocket if you want to go lower and you could easily swap that on the bike for those Trials that have the nasty hillclimbs. Trials is one of the very few motorcycle competitions where we usually run the same gearing for all the venues we encounter so don't be afraid to change gearing for a specific event. Jon
