Not sure why you want to change the front if it is not bad. As you know the 36
will give you a little less snort on a hole shot and the engine will not run as
high RPM with a smaller sprocket. I have found that at highway speeds you want
to be just under the power band in top gear. You will have to down shift one
gear to pass swiftly. If you weigh over 200 pounds you may want to rethink this
a little.

I swapped out the OEM 38 tooth rear sprocket for a 36. I would also like to
swap the front
16 tooth with a 17 tooth. Two questions: Will the 17T sprocket clear the
clutch cable, what
do you think of the gearing. I am only using the bike for gentle on road use.
Thanks BTW
for all of the kind and useful advice. Jim
