im running 18s on the back. i havent checked what rear sprocket i have. but when i bought the quad it had 22" tires on the rear. i know the front sprocket needs to be replaced and the back is fine. the front sprocket is a 14 tooth.

when im riding it revs really quick. and full throttle in 5th sounds like its gonna blow the hell up.

i was gonna order a 15t front sprocket. any suggestions?

depending on how old the chain and sprockets are it might be worth replacing the chain front sprocket and back, I replace my chain every 200 hours I just go oem and have never broke a chain

I love stock grearing with 18's and I agree with changing every 200 hours

I just put a brand new did gold mx chain on and the front sprockets teeth bent over a little are starting to thin out. It just seems like it's all top end hardly any low end power

More top end-
Bigger front sproclet
Smaller rear sprocket

If you put a 15t front sprocket on it you will get the low end back. If it still isn't the way you want it try going back to the 14t front sprocket and taking a tooth or two off the rear sprocket and see how that works. I am pretty sure every two teeth off the rear is equal to one tooth added to the front and visa-versa
