I have 15/33 gearing on my 440, i got it this way when i bought it. I want to gear it a little lower but my chain is already pretty tight. I have a 2" extended swing arm, im wondering if the guy who had it before me dropped it to the 33 so that the chian would fit. Maybe thats why he told me it would do 86mph. I want to go to like a 38 but i dont want to have to extend the chain, if that is even possible, so i was thinking of going with like a 13 or 14 up front. I have 18in tires out back, what do you guys think i should do about this? I want it to be low enough for me to be able to rip the front end up whenever i want, i dont like that top speed crap just acceleration.

Thanks

33 tooth rear sprocket? Are you sure? The smallest I've seen is a 34 and that was a 2-piece. Smallest 1 piece was a 35.

i counted them but the chain was on and it was a little bit hard to see them. I will count again hopefully im wrong because i dont want that small of a rear sprocket. Either way i think im going to get a 14t front
