Well, I like to drag ,and wanted to give my quad a little more go power,I wasnt sure if changing to a 14 tooth would really make much difference,does anyone know the answer??And if so, will adding the sizing mean changing the chain??I used to run a 12 tooth for climbing and it hepled a little, but not much.I run a Yoshi too. Thanks for all your help!:);)

you can tell a difference, first gear actually becomes more usable.

i noticed a huge difference when i switched to the 14t 36t combo
ive never used 1st gear for anything, i think 2nd gear should eb first gear and there should be another taller gear in place of second

Look at my sig :)


35t rear :)

I couldn't tell THAT much diffrence with a 35 rear, except that first gear becomes alot more usable. Unless your into mud boggin(the big stuff) Id recommend atleast a 14t front and a 36t rear.

I liked the added top speed,and I'm gettin a 14t front now :)
