Hello. I am riding off road with a 97 KX 500. A friend of mine thought I might drop to a 13 tooth counter sprocket, and put a fly wheel weight on to make it easier to handle in the woods. Anybody have a opinion on this? How heavy a fly wheel weight should I put on? What brand should I use. I let my buddy ride the bike, and afterward he didn't really think I should change the front sprocket. I am running a 14 front, and 48 rear. I don't know if it's possilbe to tame the beast back to where you can trail ride with it, and not completely wear yourself out. The fly wheel weight sounds like a good idea. A few weeks ago I did a grand prix style race, and stalled it 2 in sharp corners on the first lap. I would just appreciate any ideas to help make this thing a little more rider friendly. Please don't say to put new reeds in it. I have already done that, and lord. It made a different bike out of it, and now it's hell to hang on when it starts pulling hard. Thanks for any help..............
