I saw in your other post that you ride a cr 125 right? it really depends on what you want out of your bike, but go up a few teeth on the rear sprocket or down one on the front, if that doesn't cut it, maybe try a flywheel weight or for me personally ( yz 250) I got an fmf gnarly pipe and rejetted the bike. It really gives it tamer power throughout but more hit on the bottom. If you are racing though I wouldn't recommend it. It makes it flatten out on top end power.


Hope that helps.

gnarly pipe and a flywheel weight would help you out loads then. In tight single track trails it will make a huge difference, but you will get outpowered in open stuff.
