front sprocket size?

[john pearce]

Hi all
I have a 2000 KDX220 and running the standard 13/47 size sprockets. However I find that the top speed is not high enough for road use (not without screaming the motor too much).
Can anybody advise if a 14 tooth front sprocket will be OK, so as to lower the top speed revs. I'm hoping that the 14 tooth won't
cause any gearing problems for offroad. I guess I'll just be using 2nd gear instead of the usual 3rd and so on.
Thanks in advance.
