So far I have run 30, 34 and 38 tooth rear sprockets. All with 17 tooth front. I really liked the 30 tooth for all around use. One thing has become clear. The changes have less impact on low first gear than on 5th. Now that my bike is set up for exploring on back mountain roads (some are gnarly dirt roads) I gave the 38 tooth a try... I'll stick it with maybe until I have the carb tuned right, but probably will try the 36 tooth next.
