why would you want to do this? i doubt you would like it at all, it will be very hard to take off, and you will not have much power at all.

the reason is because when i race i get pegged out too quick. i have all kinds of bottom end but not enough top

what kind of racing do you do? i think for anything a 15t would be a bad idea.

i have a 15 front on mine, but i also have a sparks full pipe, a 150 main and holes in my air box lid. i have alot of low end and its not too bad on top ether. it is allright for hill climbs but on long steep hills it does bog in 2nd then i need to shift to first to make it up the rest of the way.

Hey Red-ride, that HMF pipe your using is more of a bottom end pipe, so if you're going to continue to race longer distances you may want to get more of a top end pipe.

You should probably invest in a Vortex CDI to raise the rev limiter. See here (http://www.exriders.com/vbb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=118905)
