Your top speed will probably be around 58-60 mph.

Do you have any mods done. If you do it should be OK but i would only recommend it if you do a lot of fast trails, roads or railroad tracks. If you jump or do tright trails where you user ur bottom end a lot then the sprocket is not worth it.

I would stay stock then. The upped size will kill ur machine on hillclimbs and when u jump you dont want to take the chance of falling short. I know on the jumps that I do, I gotta have the accelleration to come outta the corner and go wide open to clear the landing ramps. But if you think that you can loose a little bottom then go for it. I'll let you make the call from here.

good luck!

He can do that but then he's gunna be maxing out at like 50mph and thats pretty slow. I would stay with the stock gearing. Just my 2 cents.
