I'm looking to start racing my mojave on a small and kinda cramped track. I've been trying to figure out what bigger and smaller tooth sprockets for the front and rear gain as far as speed and acceleration? If someone could give me a little lesson on sprockets that would be great. Thanks

Ok, it's not hard to understand. You will get the biggest results by changing the front sprocket. A one tooth difference on the front is like a two - three tooth change on the rear.

Going down a tooth on the front will increase low-end (you will notice the engine will rev faster). But you will loose top-end because the engine is hitting it's MAX RPM's sooner. Increase the size by one tooth and the effect is opposit. You gain top-end (at the expence of low-end power) since the engine can wind out longer. Reverse the principal if you are changing the rear sprocket size.

Easy, right?!
