I am busy setting up a  Honda XR 400R for Dual-sport riding and currently the bike has plenty low down power and cruisers at around 90 km/h comfortably, but  after that starts revving too high  - what are the pro's / cons of going bigger on the front sprocket, or smaller at the back to get more top-end??  is one more pronounced than the other or is it much of a muchness.....
