Hello all.
My 2001 KX has the usual ridiculous-tall first gear. I read that the 1998 model has the same exact ratios for 2-5, but its first is a bit lower. I'd like to know if anyone here has any knowledge about changing just the first gear on the KX trans. I've rebuilt automotive stick transmissions so the mechanical side won't scare me off, but I'm no machinist so the parts would have to fit without making anything.
I have already received a 49T rear sprocket, and will probably get an 11oz FWW, but that gear chart made me think that there's more I could do without having to buy an RMX250, lol. Any ideas appreciated, thanks.
