883 Sprocket or 1200 Sprocket?

As I was out riding today, I was thinking that maybe I should change the final drive sprocket to a 1200 instead of the stock 883 one that I have on. What will this do? Will the engine lag more with the different sprocket or will it pep it up some? If it peps it up, where will the biggest difference be??

I'm not familiar with the difference in the two sprokets but, if your increasing the size (amount of teeth) on the REAR (wheel) sproket OR decreasing the size of the tranny sproket, you will have greater acceleration (pickup out of the hole) but reach max RPMS at a slower top speed. If your increasing the size of the tranny sproket or decreasing the size of the wheel sproket, the reverse happens. You have less ommppff off the line but a higher top end (IF, IF your engine isn;t lugging and IF it has the Torque to overcome wind resistance and weight.

I am not lugging at all except on the bottom end which I expect to because of my cam choice but i am looking to remedy that without changing my cams. How much of difference do think there would be???

If you want the engine to work easier at lower rpm, in other words pull stronger from standstill you can do it by going to a larger wheel sproket or smaller tranny sproket. Larger wheel sproket you will see the rpm rise in every gear for a set mph in each gear. In comparison, if you go to a smaller tranny sproket, there will be a greater increase in rpm in comparison to a larger wheel sproket. So, the incremental change is smaller by enlarging the wheel sproket as compared to the tranny sproket. Now, as far as what the actual change will be, that requires a lot of math that is above my head. how many revolutions of the tranny sproket to turn the wheel sproket once. Diameter of both( ratio) I am sure someone like HRK probably has a formula, or maybe not. When I was into performance Japanese machines I would do it trial and error. I was left with several sprokets laying around in the shop.

OK Thanks all....
