Personally, I like the stock gearing... What don't you like about the gearing you have now?
Sunstar sprockets have been good to me.

I'm with Chase on this one. I left mine stock with a 48T in the rear. It seems to be the perfect fit. I had thought about adding one tooth and going up to a 49T, but I am happy where it's at. It's low enough for good cornering power and high enough for good top end speed when you need it. Personally , I'd leave it stock.

I have the 49T on the back, and it's pretty much perfect for me for the tracks I race at.

Oh, and I use TAG sprockets, they've always held up really well for me.

I hear ya. I have a few other friends of mine running the same gearing (49T) on this bike and they like it as well. I "may" try the 49t just to check it out.....who knows , I may like it better. Just been real happy so far with the 48T.

I put a 54 on the back because harder pull out of the corners is exactly what you need on a 450.
