So the new Honda 250f leaves a lot to be desired on the bottom end.
I'd like to avoid the high compression piston + race gas approach because of day-to-day cost and reliability.
I've gone up a tooth, would going up two help?
What have folks found to be successful?

Beware, you'll need to keep your battery on a charger as they do wear the battery quicker.
The Shop
I'm coming off of 2018 unicam gen bikes (still have one as a backup bike) and the bottom is a night and day difference.
Anyone know what 2022 holds for these, totally new bike or continuation of the current frame/engine?
Also, is there a known good map that someone could share with me if I were to go the ECU route?
Full engines of course...
Best recommendations for budget/non race engine build...custom Vortex ECU from XPR...Rekluse torq drive manual clutch.
The pirelli’s we run are fairly light too, which helps.
Big recommendation, do not lighten the flywheel. I’ve seen a few guy go this route. It feels more lively in second gear and even third, but it blows through the power too quickly when it gets into it. It’s not as ride-able per se.
Keefer says: I went back and forth between the stock 13/48 gearing and 13/49, but ultimately decided on sticking with stock. Why? I felt the 13/49 gearing made second gear less usable and didn't help me get into third gear any quicker. The 13/49 robs too much top end away from second and third gears on medium to faster flowy tracks. If you’re riding a tight track and suffer from bad corner technique going to a 13/49 could benefit you more. Decide which tracks you ride the most and what type of rider you are in order to decide which way to go with your gearing.
Is it just one of the 3 stock maps that get altered?
Can you pick which one if so? Can you still switch between maps?
