Anyone else find a good sprocket size for your new Honda yet? I ran everything from a 49 to a 53, 13 front. Found a 13/52 works really well.

I'm fresh off a 16 rmz and I find that the Honda is turning even better for me and tracks like a yzf ... I couldn't be happier with the bike. My lap times are better now and the bike is very enjoyable to ride.

Stock on the CRF is 13/49 and the RX is 13/50.

For me, I'd probably run a 50 on the CRF but wouldn't want to go much farther unless my goal was to eliminate second gear from regular usage (just my opinion at my weight).

What do you weight.. I'm 210 6'2 and using it for arenacross/ supercross only. I was actually using a 53/13 on my rmz. I guess if I'm riding the main track at milestone MX a 50 or 51 is would work better. Just wondering what everyone else is using it for.

155lbs currently... Sometimes around 150 and yes, I would be talking more about outdoors tracks. Your gearing shocked me a little for outdoors, but Arencross/Supercross makes more sense.

Won't ride it for a couple of weeks. Gonna take it apart and grease everything, and of course buy some goodies.

Then E-Street, PC or MMX to break it in.

The pipe seems great, smooth power and strong. The whole bike feels fantastic.

So everyone is going up a tooth on the rear, but if MXA say to it will be joke.
