the smaller the sprocket the harder on the chain and sprocket. Larger is more efficient for transmitting the power also. You still must decide if you want to be geared for fast take-off with high rpm at lower speed. Or do you prefer, lazy take-off, and lower engine speed at higher speed. For example, my superhawk has a stock rear sprocket, (which is kind of small to start with) and a 15 tooth counter shaft sprocket. Some would choose to go to the 14, or even the 13 tooth, this would make for quicker take-offs, but suffer the road speed. One tooth change on the front, is about like 4 on the rear. You have to decide the gearing based on if you ride extreamly low or high. if not use stock sizes for your model.
