up one or two tooth?? or smthng for more top speed

[bazmaster03]

hey what if i were to up the front sprocket by two tooth would it be ok with the chain or would i have to go with only one tooth?? i currently run a 13 i believe ....or a 12 not sure ...but id like more top speed to cruise a little more on dirt roads and not having to hit the rev limiter all the time .....i currently hit around 75mph and feels like i am barely moving and like it could go for another gear any recommendations .....plz.... i am short on cash tho ......

I'd go one tooth.
Assuming you have a stock front on it now:
A. On the front, one tooth is a lot.
B. The bike might not be able to pull an extra two teeth in top gear.
C. There may not be room for +2 teeth.
D. I'm not sure a +2 sprocket is available.

ok thanks for the info thats what i was looking for.... my bike is up to Stage 2 so i think it would gather more top speed with more tooth for the gearing

You might take into consideration what shape your sprockets are in, maybe a smaller rear sprocket if the old one is worn and you can shell out a little more cash. Also depends how much slack you have in your chain.
