Thanks that is what I thought but was not 100% sure.
I was told to buy the better Renthal around $25 so I think that is what I will do.

I have a 12T with 20" tires. Frankly, it still seems geared too high from what I'm used to. I'd like to put a larger sprocket on the back as well, but it would hit the skid plate. I've never ran the 14T since mine came with a 12T. I'll stick with it.

well i put a 12 tooth on mine and it did run faster at dumont ,not sure about glamis or the desert,but i did feel a little gear changes were sketchy because the chain was under pressure,but it lasted a weekend with no problems,did hear a little squeek in the sprocket but i think it was the sand ,cleaned it today and it sounds good,the 12 tooth did what i wanted it to,and i beat most bikes up the hill with the same mods as me..
