marauder800 · 07-21-2007, 01:38 PM

I have a nice 1997 marauder 800. It seems like the rpm's are a little high at 70 mph on the interstate. I was wondering if i added a 1 tooth bigger front sprocket (or 1 tooth smaller rear sprocket) to help this situation, would it make the bottom end too sluggish? It seems to have gobs of low end torque as it is so i wouldn't think it would take away much..
thanks
