Thanks

If you can't pass 450s then you've got a turd of a 500. I run mine at 14/40. This gives me a nice trail cruising speed with 20" tires, and a nice balance of wheel spin when I run 18" for MX.
If you're going to run strictly fire road type trails then you could get away with 14/38. I use 14 tooth sprockets to help with chain clearance, you might be able to use a 13/38 if you want more grunt but that depends on your chasis.
