I've got a 300ex with an FMF powercore 4, a K&N filter, and it's been rejetted for the mods. It runs really well. I stepped up one tooth on the front sproket for more top end. It surprised me and seemed to help quite a bit through the middle and top end speed. I'm wondering if I could get by with a bit smaller rear sprocket for a little more top end, or will it just bog it down too much? Right now when I ride wide open I'm just flirting with the rev limiter in top gear. What do you guys run, stock, or which size?

this is geared lower. if you want more top end take away 3 teeth in the back. this equals the same as if you were to add one in the front which would give you more top end. what size tires do you have? if you have 20''s then it should be fine but if you are running 22's i wouldn't change it.
