Ok, ive spent the last half hour or so with the good old search feature.

Ive got 20" kenda Klaws on the front now and 18" klaws on the back.Twin Air Filter, FMF header and MegamaxxII pipe.

Out riding today I was smackin the rev limiter at 51.8mph (it ran 53+ stock). With my mods on stock tires I was at 55 and climbin pretty quick when I ran out of road. Im lookin to get back around 55 or maybe a little quicker

is a 14tooth front and 36rear the way to go? I ride a mix of everything, I ride practice nights at the MX track, some tight woods trails and plenty of wide open trails too. Im not lookin for extreme low or hight, just a nice balance. Also, if I did end up putting on a taller tire for more ground clearance, say the stock 22" rears, is it gonna run like crap?

Also, im aware ill have to grind on the case saver a little bit to make a 14tooth front fit.

13/38 stock = 2.92
13/36 = 2.769
13/35 = 2.69
13/34 = 2.615
14/36 = 2.57

youll need internal work to be pleased with the 14/36. try 13/36, i used this with the same mods you have and was very pleased.
