don't under stand the ? all you can do is go up or down teeth. not sure what you wont but i do mostly sand and mx so i don't need 6th so i went 1 down in the frunt sprocket. if you need more top end then go up 1 or 2 in the frunt or up 1 frunt and down 2 rear.2 to 3 in the rear are the same as 1 frunt.hope this helps

Did you buy your warrior new? If not then you may have a smaller front sprocket. Lots of Warrior owners opt to go down to a 12T front sprocket for better torque application.

Take off the little plastic side cover on the front sprocket and see if you can see the tooth stamp (it'll say 12T or 13T or like that) if you can't see that, then try counting the teeth. If you have 12T, then you can go up to 13T or 14T. You can also change your rear sprocket. The stock rear is a 40T. Going down in teeth (say to 38T) is the same as going up teeth on the front. As you can see from my sig, I'm currently using a 12/42 setup over the stock 13/40 so I'm geared way down. I top out quickly, but the torque is awesome and I can easily put the front up in 1st - 3rd and only a modest effort to get it up in 4th.

For trail riding I go to a 15/42 setup. My chain isn't long enough for 15/40 .... that gets me putting along, though if you have any baggage with your quad it really puts a load on her ..
