More teeth in the back = more bottom end, less teeth in back = more top end...its the opposite for the front....

ummm, im pretty sure stock gearing on a 400 is 15/38. but yeah a bigger rear sprocket=more acceleration, smaller more top speed. and the opposite for the front, like rippinitup said.

ok thanks,well i have a 37t and a 38t and the 38t is on the bike and the 37t looks like the stock one buy i dunno

if you want more low end with a lot less work, go with a 14 tooth front sprocket, you will see a drastic improvement
