been debating getting new sprockets, either 18/45 or 20/45 to achieve a higher top speed. Was wondering if anyone has done these before and which they'd recommend, I know I'll lose some low end torque but I was curious if anyone has experience with it. As far as power wheelies, launch speed, etc.

Your ratios don't make sense. If you want higher top speed you need taller gearing so why would you increase the rear sprocket size? The higher the top speed the more stability you you need so a longer wheelbase would help. Try leaving the front sprocket stock or up one tooth max and go with a smaller rear sprocket such as a 41T.

I'm not too much of an expert on ratios, just talked with a dude who knows more than me and thats what he suggested.
