250-500cc Re-Gearing the 2011 WR 300

got a new wr 300 and i run very tight tricky technical rock and hills, thinkin of stepping up the rear from 48 to 51 teeth, anyone try this? any suggestions?

No, i never had to change even on tight tracks. I think the standard gearing is good, for me anyway. I often start on 2nd gear even in tight woods. Can, t you find a smaller front sprocket instead? Easier to change, cheaper to buy,just to evaluate. you use the same chain too.

I run a 50 in the back for singletrack. I think it is a vast improvement over stock when it gets tight and gnarly. I thought about a 52 at first, but someone suggested the 50, so I gave it a try. I would think a 51 would be great in the gnar

thats what i was thinkin, im putting on a 51 and taking out the new machine for it first run Sunday

Let us know how it goes.

I put a 50 on the rear and swap fronts. Usually 14/50 for woods and 15/50 for dez.
Motor has plenty to pull that extra tooth and the snap rings make it a breeze to swap.

I run 13:52 but I'm going to change to 13:50 or 12:48 which is close to the same. I like having 1st for a trials like bail out gear for really slow steep rocky stuff. I mostly ride in 2nd or above and top speed even with 13:52 is still 70mph according to my stock speedo. BTW mine is a WR250 so it's not quite the same as a 300.

I run 13/50 on my 09 250 it works great in tight or high speed riding.

SURE WILL !!! thanks to all , cant wait to try this thing out !

I just purchased a 49 tooth rear to run with the stock front (11' WR300 and not installed yet) I seemed to be sometimes lugging to much in 3rd or revving to much in 2nd in the tighter trails so I'm looking to find a better medium for each gear in those condition.... I like the stock gearing and could live with it but alittle more snap in 3rd and 4th would help in the woods I think...
