I’m in the middle of getting my fully suspended 185s build back rolling again. Pretty much nothing is stock now so I thought I’d throw some back story in and see what y’all might recommend.
It’s got a 83-84 250r front end, a warrior 350 swingarm on the rear, the engine is now a 200cc with a 10.25:1 piston and a xr200 cam, and 200x dg exhaust. I have opted to run a 1.25” go kart axle due to chain alignment issues with my original setup trying to run the stock 185s axle.
I’m going to run 20” tires in the rear and trying to figure out what gear ratio to run. Since I’m running the go kart axle now the rear sprocket sizes are pretty much limitless. I’ve seen it recommended to run 13/37 for a 200x with 20s. But I’d like to keep my rear sprocket as small as practical. So would 11/34 or even 12/35 be a decent go at it?
I’ll be mainly riding trails with this bike. Don’t plan on doing any track riding or Mx stuff. Just putting around and maybe the occasional trip to a dune/sand pit.
Any suggestions appreciated
