You will be fine. Although it really depends on how you want your bike geared.

I would gear up to a 14 front. That woud be closer to stock gearing with those tires. I would think you'll lose about 5-6 mph on top with 18's. The higher revs with the HRC might get it back.Just try it if it's too low for ya spend 12 bucks on a 14.

it deffinatly depends on what kind of ridding you do. if its mx i would recomend leaving it stock but if ur crusing in 4th and 5th gear on trails or dunes gear it up a tooth or 2
