Templar 250 (Base) Gearing

tknj99 · Today, 07:13 AM

Hi all,
The base Templar 250 with the overhead cam engine comes with 13/47 gearing stock. I know on my former Templar X i changed the rear down from 49 to 42 so it would handle faster roads better. Whats the consensus for the base Templar as far as gearing, 42 or 40? which will get it close to 65-70mph while still having enough low-end torque for trail riding?

P.S. i bought and planned to install a 14T instead but it wont fit, and its the area around the sprocket that would need to be shaved instead of just the cover and its not advisable..

Thanks
