Hell, I was just wondering what size sproket's do you run. I am going to be running the AWRCS series here in PA and looking for your input. I have the cam am racer package. So I have the stock sproket's on the machine. I want to spend the money they gave me the right way and get some upgrades. I really want a steering stablizer so that will be next. Any help would be greatful.

First setup I am going to run when I Put my bike on the trails and Beach is going to be the 14 up front and dumping the back to a 39 Since people are sayin 15-42 seems to make the lower gears more useful after changing the front to a 15... I cant remember the exact math but i think it is every 2-3 teeth you go down on the back makes up for going up 1 on the front.... the reason i would work the back end first is Ground clearence reasons and On my raptor I found that there was no real Power loss or gain besides the usual when you change your drive gears... Before someone tells me your Power stays the same let me Say I KNOW When I say power I mean wheel speed and ability of your motor to build rpms vs Taller gears...

14/39. you will lose alot of bottom end torque if your bike is stock though. at least get a pipe, fmi and filter to make up for it. im running 14/39 and i think it tops out hi 80s now. its scary actually. i havent topped it out yet but just guessing as ive passed raptor 700s in top gear and ive have alot of room in 5th still.

Well he's trying to get top end. I'd rather go to a 42 before the front
