Message: [QUOTE="YamaB, post: 762507, member: 53115"] less teeth front = more acceleration and lower top speed more teeth front = less acceleration and higher top speed less teeth rear = less acceleration and higher top speed more teeth rear = more acceleration and lower top speed 1 tooth down in the front = 2+ teeth up in the rear I "believe" you can generally go 1 tooth down in front and/or 2 teeth up in the rear and make up the difference using your slack adjuster... At least this has been my experience on street bikes (should be same theory in dirt bikes even though they have much more chain slack)... If you are indeed wanting to lower your acceleration and increase top speed (not sure why... street use??), then in theory you should be able to go up 1 in front, and down 2 in the rear... That should use about as much chain as you started with but give a ratio close to what your shooting for... Any experts agree?? - BA [/QUOTE]
