So my 08 250 xcfw is geared way to high for where I ride. Help.

I barely even got into 4th gear. I ride extremely technical terrain. First gear was way to high. What would be a good gearing combo for me? I would really like to take every gear down one. IE. I would like my current 1st gear to be my 2nd gear.

I believe your stock front should be a 14 tooth.

Drop to a 13 tooth-

If you want a little less reduction of top speed go up 2 teeth in the back.

Here is a neat little tool that lets you try different setups without buying them
first.

I just found gearingcommander. Very nice.

What is the lowest I can go on the stock chain?

Ok so it looks like the best I can do is 12/54.

So.. Will I need a new chain? Can I modify the chain guide/guard to work with the larger rear sprocket? Where is the cheapest place to buy these at? I would like steel not aluminum in the rear.

These guys have great prices.
