I am restoring a 74 850 Commando. The previous owner replaced the front chain sprocket with a smaller one?? I assume he did this to get more off the line jump or torgue out of the bike. I am in the process of removing the engine and getting ready to paint the frame. Should I put the original larger sprocket back on while I have the primary off??? What are the pros and cons to a smaller vs larger front sprocket??? First gear is a bit tall for my liking and I do not plan to make a racer out of it. How much will the smaller one effect the top speed of the bike???? Thanks again for all the help you guys have sent to me---
