Default advantages going with 12 tooth front sprocket?

on a raptor, what are the +/-'s?
does it help with acceleration?
how does it effect the gearing ratio?

side note....where can I get funny warning plates to replace the stock warnings on fenders?







i think the moderators should make some stickies on this forum, help us noobs out there from asking questions over and over on same topics already answered

You will gain ALOT on the bottom end. Your gears will seem alot shorter, for example, 3rd feels like 2nd, 4th feels like third, blah blah blah...1st is almost useless. You will loose about 6-8mhp on the top end maybe..

I use a 12 tooth at the dunes, since i rarely would get in 5th with a 13t. I like having more of a gearing option... feels alot better for me.

They pretty much answered your question...but I like the idea of the stickies! If a Mod reads this please take this into consideration [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
