What sprocket???

[mark250ec]

I have a 2011 EC 250 and the stock gearing seems to be a little tall for the tight stuff for my liking, have you folks changed your gearing on this bike?.....
did you change the front sprocket or rear?......
if so, what did you go to????
Need some advice here........thanks!

Every Gas Gas that I've owned always get a 50 tooth rear sprocket.

Same bike...first tried 50T rear, and put on an old chain with one more link than stock(116 I think). The chain fit great, moving my back tire near the rear of adjustment, but I still wasn't happy with the gearing. Now at 52T rear, which I like, but one extra link chain is too long, so 116link chain and rear axle near middle of swingarm slot.

I run 48-13. In the begining I thought it was too tall, but now, I've grown into it.

The rule for chain is 1 link per tooth change on the rear. If you choose to make a change keep the old sproket and chain together, in case you later decide to go back.

12 tooth counter is pretty common around here,50 tooth rear with 13 counter often will make running a trials tire hard with the stock chain

13 - 50 here. Does everything well.

13-50, helped me immensely.

Looks like a 50T rear is the majority here.....but I am still listening.
Thanks guys.

13/52 I find works best.
1st. becomes useless except in an emergency. And you do hurt a bit on the wide open fire roads once you hit top gear. But I don't mind. I'll leave the fast stuff for the younger guys.

i ran 13/52 and liked it, but found 1st gear too unusable. 13/51 lets me use 1st occasionally...

if you're running gncc or wide open stuff - 13/48 is great...
