Looking at a set of 22" hauler extremes right now and i think i am going to buy them but does anyone have a clue what sprocket changes i should make.  I ride mostly in the sand.

with what paddle count???

My three mod pushes 7 paddle 22" haulers no problem with the stock gearing at 9K feet

I would stay stock sprockets, or go down a tooth in the front, to maintain torque with bigger diameter tire..  unless drag racing

Oregon dunes i do lots of "tree runs" or holeshots as other people call them.  Lots of steep low gear stuff just trying to climb my way out.  I am going back down to the coast on the 20th through the 1st so if anyone is going let me know.

Walden here in CO has the same type of climbing, I still bet the stock gears would be perfect, especially since you'll have more power to turn them than I do at 9K ft.

Thanks for the reply's  i am learning all i can about these damn four strokes!  Been a two stroke guy forever and this is my first four stroke so everything is different.

you could pick up a 13T sprocket just incase for 15 bucks through RMATV, and bring your 36mm socket and ratchet along just in case  ;)
