I was thinking about going from the stock 36t sprocket to a 38t and was wondering how much of a difference I would notice in acceleration. I know top speed will suffer but since I only use it for trail riding I am not real concerned about top speed. Unless there is a huge decrease in top speed.

 

i have a 400 2x4 and i changed my front sprocket to a twelve tooth and got some of my low end power back, i run a top end pipe and lost some, but with the proper clutching you will dial in just right to what your looking for. i have run my bike for dunes and tight tactical trails too!
