What gearing are you guys using on a Z400 or KFX400???

I was thinking of changing the gearing on my KFX40. I was thinking of going one tooth bigger in the rear. I am hoping to get a little more low end torque from it. I was just wondering what you guys are using and how you like it. Thanks in advance!!!

I run a pipe and airfilter with stock sprockets. I pull 3rd sitting wheelies and 4th standing with no problems. I have a set of sprokets in boxes still 1 down in the front and plus 5 in the rear I think. Got them to helop with highchairs but after some seat time getting better and not needing them.

i run stock gearing and 18" rear tires, vs the stock 20" ers... quad will hit rev limiter in 5th going down the road... but top speed is only 50ish... i would run stock stock stock.. as soon as i have some extra cash, i wanna buy a set of 20"s for it... i hate the low gearing i have now because of the tire size...

1 tooth in the front is=to 3 in the back. if i was going to do anything id go 1 down up front so youll have a slower 1st gear. i liked my stock z 400 for stunten better than i liked my dads kfx 400 w/ Curtis Sparks pipe pro design intake and its rejeted. and yes pulling wheelies in 5 wasnt ever a problem on the stock z. I now have a 06 yfz and its not very cumffy to stunt on lol and when mine was in the shop i broke the frame up front on the z above the shock mounts...lol its my moms now......
