OK, I've tried the search, but it won't recognize numbers for some reason. Has anyone changed from the factory 23/37(1.61) gearing and tried a 23/38(1.65) gearing. If so what were the results? Mileage loss, better pull, better top end? Looking for some input for perhaps next years project. I'm assuming I'll need a longer chain to boot, if someone can confirm. Thanks

23/38 won't require a new chain, you should still be able to run the 70 link chain.

Yep...We're running 23/38 gearing in the asphalt sled with 70 chain!

Thanks for the chain replies! But does anyone have any experience w/ the performance on the 23/38 gearing?
