Street gearing for YZ450F?
I just picked up a 2006 YZ450F that is street legal but still needs to be converted to a motard. I've already ordered the marchesini wheels and everything else to get it ready except for the gearing. A guy at the dealership that has a crf450r he rides on the street said to go up 1 in the front and down 5 in the rear which seems like a lot. The bike will be used occasionally for riding around town but mainly for riding the twisties on the weekend. What type of gearing are you guys with MX bikes using on the street?
Here's the new bike

the F's are super wide geared man, I had a WR250F, and I ordered the Smallest front, and largest rear aftermarket sprockets I could find, and I still had to slip the hell out of the clutch for slow ****.

Im not really wanting to do slow stuff with it, this will be more of a street legal track bike. It has stock gearing right now and it's screaming down the road at 50.
