my EX has 22x11x0 Titan Trail Claw II 's and I'd like a little more top end but I don't want to loose my case saver so I figured with 22" tires changing the rear from 38 to 36 would not bog the motor down as a 14T Front with 38T Rear. I need a little more top end since my bike is basically all bottom end....
Anyone running a 13/36 Combination how many links will I need to subtract from the stock 86 link size chain??????

Or better yet what how many link chain do I need to get with this combination?????????82,83,84,85????

 

I had a 13/36 on my 250X and a 14/38 , and 14/36. There was not any noticable difference between the 14/38 and the 13/36. If I were you I'd go with the 14 front becaue it's cheaper, you don't need to mess with the chain and you don't have to remove your case saver, you just file it down to fit the slightly larger sprocket. This might be quite a push tho wih 22" tires for a stock motor I would add some more power to turn those bulbus tires with a 14t or a 36t rear.
