- Are you talking about a KLX250 or 300?? The standard rear sprocket is a 42. A 35 would be a midget and the bike to high geared.It would beincapapable of pulling top gear.
If you mean 45, then 14 would give higher top speed. a 15/45 would revert to standard gearing.
Contrary to everything that appears in this forum, lowering the gearing does not give the bike any more torque.
In trail riding it is matter of compromise. On my modified 250/300, I run 13/47. I find that I need a fairly low 2nd gear if I am to make slippery hill climbs OK. 1st is too low and can cause wheelspin. Any hill that requires some momentum is best taken in 2nd gear. I save the low 1st gear for very tight and slow stuff.
The bike is hopeless on the highway, but I trailer it to my ride spots.

(got stuck trying to fit the 13t sprocket...sigh mine must have been been put on by a team of ninja or something.)
