Lets see, you went up on your tire size so a 1 size smaller front sprocket should compensate and give you a little more bottom pull.

I would change the front sprocket for about $10 rather than the rear for about $40. Around here its cheaper to buy it from your dealer than pay shipping from RockyMountain DennisKirk etc...

try the sprocket but you might have too much paddle,i would go with a 8 or 7,and i dont think you have enough power to turn those things..
