I am running 23's in front with the 22 rears. It is to help keep your caster settings in the front end.

 

i too have the 23" tires up front, i do not like to wheelie, no help here!

 

i probably bottom out a few times a ride maybe around 5 times a ride...

what should is expect to pay for razr2's... and they do say razr2's on them correct

 

i use 22 kenda klaws. they are fine for where i ride

but beware your steering will become noticibly twitchy at speed on rough terrain. not lethal but you will feel it. 23 fronts will help but not cure

 

Your throttle response is not gonna be as good unless you go up 2 in the rear also. You could just go down 2 in front, but I think the best would be 1 down/ 2 up

 

Yes, they say RAZR2 on them. I bought mine at Rocky Mtn Atv, with wheels(rims) for around 550 or so. Go there for a recent price.

 

SPARKY YOU HAVE ME SCARED, I DONT WANT TO START MESSING WITH STUFF AND DEFINETELY

DONT WANT TO LOSE THROTTLE RESPONSE, MAYBE I WILL STAY WITH 20'S

i can do front sprocket maybe but not messing with the rear so if it will mess with my performance then forget it!

 

arent 23 in front stock?

 

No. 22's are stock fronts.

 

Don't mean to scare you here. You just said you wanted better throttle response and you didn't care about top speed so much, or something like that. So, you want it to be a little lower geared if anything then. I would definetely do the 22s because it gives you more ground clearance, plus with those tires you're talking about getting the sidewalls will be a lot stronger than stock.

When you look at that chart, hit recalculate before you change anything. This will give you your stock numbers. After you put the 22s into the calculation, you can try the different sprocket combos. if you want better response, look for a combo that is just a little slower.

I'm looking at this purely from the numbers though too. I ride a z, not a DS. You may find DS riders that will say not to worry about response, this is the combo that works. But from what I hear about the DS they have awesome top end and could use some more bottom end anyway.

None of this should scare you, just keep your old parts and switch back if you need to.Just use your judgement here. Did you like the way it was geared before or was it too high?
