holy crap how fast do you need to go.stock gearing should give you plenty of speed. if you are running stock rear tires or 18 inch hole shots go to a 20 inch rear tire.that will give you a little more top end.if not go up to a 15-16 tooth front sprocket,or drop 1 tooth down in the rear sprocket.

If you wan't a little more, mess w/your back sprocket. If you want a lot more go up to a 15 on the front. Moving one tooth on the front is equivalent to moving 4 teeth on the back. Therefore your fine tuning, so to speak, will come from your rear sprocket. Up for top end on the front, down for top end on the rear. If you don't have anything more than pipes, and a cool head, I wouldn't jump a tooth in the front. I would try more like maybe going down 2 in the rear. Especially if you ride sand, you will not be able to get out of the hole w/o standing on your handlebars if you go to a 15.
