Alright..i went and checked and it is 11 teeth the sproket

 

If you increase the top speed that much you are bound to loose quit a bit of bottom end. That will make it tough to ride in the woods. If you mainly ride open roads I say go for it. I don't know the exact mph increase but I do know that one tooth on the front is equivilant to three on the rear.

 

yeah, i dont do much woods riding, lots of WOT type riding, down roads and longer trips, i just want to be able to move faster so i can keep up with my buddies[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] lol

 

in theory,,,,your 5mph per front tooth sound pretty close.....bump it up to a 13 !!!! Havent played with the front sprocket on mine yet, but I hear you get more utilization out of each gear with upsizing your front sprocket??
