Hey I was planning to get a 13T front sprocket or a 39T rear sprocket. I was wondering if both the 13 and 39 would be too much and just slip the clutch, and what I would need to do with the chain to fit those sprockets.

 

13/39 is a popular combo. You might need to take a link out of the chain.

I've gone as far as 14/39. It didn't just slip the clutch, but I still didn't like it. Big front sprockets sap power. 12/37 is my favorite.

 

Thanks, Im gonna go with the 13/39.

 

dont forget to get a good O-RING chain and check your swingarm and axle bearings while youre at it!

 

Will it be too much with 22" tires?

 

22" tires is too much anyway in my opinion. What are you trying to do? What type of riding? You could do 14/37 with 22's if all you do is ride on flat ground as fast as you can go. I like 11 or 12/37 with 20's for blasting thru trails, but I fly thru the gears fast.

I have 11,12,13,14 front sprocket and 37,39,41 rear. I've tried them all. The big problem is 3rd and 4th gear. You'll either lug 4th or rev 3rd, so that's why I like the lower gears so I'm not luggin 4th up hills in the mountains. And I'm not interested in top speed... there's no where to go 50mph+ around here except the roads. You could be the exact opposite of me, so I don't know what to recommend.
