Rode my Raptor with the new 22" XCT Holeshots today. Seems to have lost some of its pull up hills. Doesn't seem to have the power it used to when getting near the top of steep long hills. Does this make sense? Or could it be something else? Will installing a 12 tooth front sprocket correct this? TIA

yes if you go to a bigger rear tire size you will lose your hill climbing power but you will gain top end speed so if you put a 12 tooth front sprocket on that should put you back to stock gearing.

Excellent. I kinda figured, should have known. Thanks for the reply. I don't need to go 70+ mph anyway. Just want to haul *** up the hills and blow people away in some drags. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
