[QUOTE="2smoke, post: 48520, member: 563"] I love these types of threads. You get to spend other peoples money. OK this is going to cost you a little bit of money. You already have the right ideas about what to do in reguards to tooth counts on your sprockets. But did you know that if you go down one tooth on your counter sprocket (the front one) its like going up three teeth on the rear. So if you want to make large gearing changes the counter sprocket is the least expensive change with the most change involved. However you indicated that you'd like a little more acceleration with out loosing too much top end. So your gonna have to spend some money on rear sprockets. I just hope you dont have expensive taste in aluminium sprockets. Buy two sprockets, one that is one tooth larger than what you have and one that is two teeth larger than what you have. Its my experience that anything larger than 2 teeth up from stock is way to low for cruising type speeds. But is great for tight twisty trails and hill climbs. Truthfully there really isnt that good of a happy medium for good acceleration and maintaining some sort of top end by messing with the counter sprocket and rear sprocket. The only way to achieve what I think you want is to play with the internal gearing in the gear box, and thats really not cheap. [/QUOTE]
