anyone??? i like the power to do wheelies and dont want so sacrifice the power for more speed. the motor has been bored 20 over and has power but how much would i notice a smaller sprocket on back??

the smaller back sprocket you go for, the less power your going to get to the wheels, but the higher top speed, you should be ok to go up 2 teeth,

I usually keep an assortment on hand to gear up or down depending on tire sizes and applications.

I would drop 1 tooth on the front sprocket... Did that on my 929 and it made a big difference...

if you get a smaller front sprocket you can use the same chain? thanks

Sometimes you can just adjust it out and it will work. Sometimes you have to remove a link.

Dropping down 2 teeth in the rear or 1 in the front won't sacrifice to much bottom end....get a couple different sized and experiment to were you like it.

thanks guys i got a 13 tooth for front and 42 tooth for back. i dropped 2 teeth in back

Dropping 2 teeth in the back will end up giving you a higher top speed... Its not going to help your wheelies out at all... By dropping 1 tooth in the front, and 2 in the back, you are almost cancelling your gear change out... If you want better bottom end power, drop 1 tooth off the front, and add 2 to the rear, that will make a big difference...
