Re: pros and cons for bigger sprocket
Honestly......if you're having problems finding anything locally, and you're going to have to order from the US.......I'ld go -2 up front on the countershaft. That's an equivalent of +6 in the back.....AND....you'll still be able to use your chain. Much, much cheaper. Food for thought!

- +5 – Provides a good place to start for anybody looking to get a little more into the stunts without sacrificing street riding or too much top speed. Will gain some torque/acceleration while losing roughly 10% of top speed.
- +10 - Provides good amounts of power for slower wheelies while still having decent street riding. Will gain good torque/acceleration while losing roughly 20% of top speed. ( most common size used by most stunters)
- +15 – Provides great power for technical slow wheelies. Street riding will be reduced to moderation in the city limits. No highways. Will gain great torque/acceleration while losing roughly 30% of top speed.
- +20 - Provides huge power for anything and everything technical. Street riding will be reduced to just parking lots. Not for beginners. Will gain huge torque/acceleration while losing roughly 40% of top speed.
- +25 or bigger – Ridiculous… but fun. Go big.
