What is 1983 185s stock front sproket size?
I need more torque and pulling power and want to replace.
Worthless, would be a vast improvement.

So if I installed a 12 tooth (larger), that would get me a little more torque and pulling power?

Go for a smaller front or larger rear.

Pulling power difference and torque?

I went to a 10 tooth front (with no other changes at the time) and it made a HUGE difference in low end performance.

I just put an 8 tooth front sproket on my 83 185S, I did not change the rear sprocket yet. This baby is nothing but torque in first and second gear now. I use my trike for ice fishing so the speed of the trike was not a concern. First gear was plenty fast enough before now I probably wont get out of second gear. You can pick up a rear sprocket for a 200s for cheap on ebay, it will fit the 83 185S and it will be 43 teeth. Another note on this 8 tooth front sprocket, I had to remove the chain tensioner in order to get enough movement to tighten the chain. I am going to try this for a while but may end up switching to a 9 tooth. The torque is enough that the rear brake does not hold if you hit the throttle too much.

Update.
I did get my 10 tooth sprocket and replaced. Man, the old 11 tooth looked like a throwing star.
Our snow is melting and really heavy and wet so I went for a jaunt,
I did notice better performance and did not have to rap out the engine as much.
