let's talk sprockets

Ive got alot of low end power with this thing.
it will stand up so easy in 2ed gear if your not used to it, itll throw you off.
3rd gear, just lean back a lil and get on it, shell come right up

i top out very quickly, i can start out in 2ed gear with no problem, i want to stretch out my gears a lil' bit. i like to ride trails as well as dunes. a swing arm wont solve my problem, itll help keep the front down but my gears will still be to tight

i was thinking, put 1 tooth bigger on the front (16 tooth) but i cant seem to find a 16. so maybe 1 or 2 teeth smaller on the back.

any ideas? comments? experiance?

im guessing its at 15 now?

You could put a 16 up there, but youll have to remove your case saver,or grind it down but then there wont be much left. :ermm:
I didnt want to do all that so i put in a 36t rear, which is 2 teeth smaller. I like the way its geared now. I didnt loose too much accel, and top speed is improved a good bit,which is really needed where i ride at( fast trails, dirt roads and whatnot).
It all really depends on where u ride at.

I've seen 16 tooth sprockets a lot on eBay, if you have an account just get one off of there.

Slipp I have a 16 tooth front sprocket that I used for a month. Great condition, I'm selling because I went in the opposite direction, 14 tooth. PM me if you are interested. Now you have to reason to say you can't find a 16 tooth! :devil:
