A 14 tooth front sprocket should fix your bogging :)

might want to consider a 39 out back while your at it, only one tooth but it makes a difference worth the 20 bucks ;)

you would have to look at the ratio chart on sprockets (like the one in James Lucky) then factor in tire diameter. I based my decision on trial and error, based on achieving power to climb as soon as I hit second gear as well as low end needed to pull out of 3rd gear in the woods. Not much time to build speed on much of the terrain I hit and prefer not to shift when possible.

Loosing top speed is a trade off you need to experience by riding yto know if it's for you. If money an issue, get an old sprocket for a days ride from a buddy and buy new if you like.
