Bagstr 288 Posted October 19, 2007 OK Big Bike Riders: What ratios are you running on your KTMs? I've dropped to a 16t at the front and am considering a move from stock 42 to 45 at the rear. Is that much help in the sand and slow dirt stuff. Finally, will I need to lengthen the chain for 16/45. Thanks, Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikeslut 1 Posted October 19, 2007 I'm on a V Strom, but just went to a 16/45... it's much better everywhere, except OD is not quite as relaxed as it was. It difinitely has more get up an go in OD, however, and still has no problem achieving ludricous speeds. First gear in the dirt is now useful. Wheelies in first 3. You would expect even better from your KTM I would think I think it did require more links, so I bought the 120 link chain, and took about 6 out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
