I'm getting 22in. tires for my 400 and I was wondering what size sprocket(s) I would need to get, to have the same speed as stock 20 in. tires

just go one tooth smaller on the front and you should be close

Much of your choice on gearing depends on your riding style, engine mods, and terrain. Personal preference plays a role.

I found that when running a 22" tire, my choice of gearing is 14 up front and 39 rear. I personally favor trading the benefits of a longer torque curve for power on demand. This gearing seems to works well if your terrain is more technical.

Hope this helps :)

Either a 14T front or a 40T rear....
