14t or 15t for sand

[Buster]

tomorrow I'm off for my first ride on the dunes. Should I leave my 14t front sprocket on or would the 15t be better for the sand? Common sense tells me the 14t would be better but it does give up some top end speed.

I went down to 14 for mine on the dunes. It made a big difference with paddles on. Did give up some top end, but it wheelies like a mother now and it still is fast enough to really air it out.

If it is a stock 400, go 14. You can climb hills in 3rd with it. I have a HMF pipe and filter, and I can climb most anything in 3rd with the 15, but my stock bike wouldn't do it.
