Default gearing changes for more top end speed

I have a 230S and put on a DG Xccelerator pipe and a K&N filter. I also re-jetted the carb and took off the airbox lid. I want to change my sprockets for more top speed. Right now i have a 12 tooth front and a 41 tooth rear. I want to change to a 13 tooth front and a 39 tooth rear, or maybe a 14 tooth front and 41 tooth rear. Any suggestions?

I'd start with the 13/41 and see if improvement is needed and go from there.
FYI: 12/41 is 3.42:1
13/41 is 3.15:1
14/41 is 2.93:1
14/39 is 2.79:1
As you can see, the 39 rear may not be needed.Usually 2 up in the front is plenty.

just remember when you gear for top end speed you will lose the low end torque
