if you put smaller tires on the back of your quad you get less speed out the hole, but you get more top end. So if you want to keep about the same you get a smaller front sproket. If im not mistaking a 300ex front sproket has 13 teeth on the stock sproket. So maybe you want to go with 11 or 12. Dont forget thats IF you want to keep about the same speed.

no its the opposite. bigger rear tire = more top speed
