im running a 1 tooth bigger front sprocket with 18 10.5 x 8 kenda klaws but my gearing feels too tall, like ill come out of a corner and it will feel boggy then i shift down and its about to rev out, should i switch back to my stock front sprocket? i noticed there isnt much of a difference in size between the klaws and the stock tires, what do you guys run and what are your opinions

When you went with a bigger front sprocket you geared it up. The rule of thumb is 1 tooth up front os about 2 1/2 in the back. I went the other way and dropped a tooth in the front to gear mine down.

i know, but when you switch to smaller tires its like going up in the back so i went with a bigger front but i think its too tall i was curious what gearing everyone else with 18s is runnin

I'd like to know also , cuz I'm running 18's and never changed my gearing from stock and I'm hitting the rev limiter in EVERY gear . I know this bike can go alot faster than what I had it going .
