Gearing and Jetting for 450X

    I wound up with that combo by dumb luck, I knew I wanted a different combo, but was holding out for the chain/sprockets to wear out....well most of you know that takes a while..

    anyway, I bought some FTD chain blocks and they would not work with the stock chain length AND the 51 tooth rear, I had to find a smaller rear sprocket and PRONTO!!

    So.....down to the dealershit I went, the guy (the owner who is actually an old school rider that knows what is up) told me HE thought dropping two in the rear would give me the end result I wanted.......He was RIGHT.

    I really dont know if the stock chain can be used with the stock axle blocks.....sounds like a good excuse to get a new rear AND axle blocks (FTD)....seriously, the FTD blocks are sweet, so is the 13/49 combo.

    I wouldnt s'hit you...your my favorite turd!

    END of story.

    AS, your way a blinger.

    I'm gonna say DD is a functional blinger, or blang whatever you wanna call it. If he breaks something and get it pretty for the same price he goes with that. But I don't think he'll spend extra just to look purdy.

    Have you checked out his riding gear lately? It is definitely functional, but it is also purdy. I think the boy has an eye for fashion!

    I kinda thought the same thing when my X was totally stock, and then I rejetted. You will see a big difference when its jetted right. Stock is WAY too lean. Not good for the engine. You should rejet it soon. 8)

    I just got the JD Kit. It had everything needed in it, including detailed instructions and guidelines. Whenever I had a specific question, I just emailed James directly and he answered my email with his answer. Does not get much better than that!
