I found that going one smaller in front was to much. The bike would wheelie any time you hit the throtle (like coming out to a turn). Great for play riding, but useless for cross-country.

I finally went with one bigger in back, as a compromise.

dropping one tooth or adding a tooth to the rear will help u wheelie like a fat girl on the back of a golf cart. the bigger the sprocket and more teeth on the back the more torque you will have, so producinging everything you need to do a wheelie.

the 400ex is known as the wheelie king. i can ride wheelies in 4th and 5th gear tho not for long... 20 ft on a good day.
