You are right Okie. 39 rear with OEM 13T front sprocket is a good final drive ratio, if even a little tall for off road... I might go back to a 13T to regain a little lower 1st gear. I did a brief off road ride yesterday and it was OK. But the engine is easily powerful enough to deal with the gearing, no problem. This wasn't difficult terrain or in the trees. I was able to move along fast. 5th gear is a noticably bigger drop and it cruises at moderate rpm on the highway now. But making room for the 14T doesn't mean I can't go back!
