Really, can you be anymore vague? How do you expect anyone to help you if you don't tell them what you have and what you want.

We have "what you want" - trails and top speed
So what do you have - what are your current sprockets, tire size, mods?

Thanks,

smaller in front = more bottom end, less speed
bigger in front = more speed, less bottom end

to gain in one you must sacrifice another.

OK we know what upgrades you have done and size tires you have now. What they are trying to say is what are you looking for? Do you want to go faster on flats? = Bigger front sprocket. Do you want more bottom end for trail riding; low end torque for steep trail hills? = Smaller front sprocket. Or you can change out the rear sprocket. More teeth to the rear = faster, less bottom end. Smaller rear sprocket, less teeth = more bottom end, less top end speed.

I do trail riding. I just put 22in mudlites on and am changing from a 13 tooth sprocket to at 12 to gain a little bottom end.

Is this a Raptor ddub is talkin about????....anyway...changing your front sprocket give you at least double the effect, versus changing the rear....so if you want a drastic change change ur front if you want a noticeable yet not outrageous change, swap out the rear, just something else to keep in mind.

More teeth to the rear = faster, less bottom end. Smaller rear sprocket, less teeth = more bottom end, less top end speed.

its the other way around lovbyts more teeth in the rear=slower more bottom end
less teeth in rear=faster less bottom end more top speed

just to clear things up
