Gearing just go -1 tooth in the front, will cost ya about 30 bucks instead of 80 for a rear. Thats the first mod i have done on EVERY bike i ever owned.

If you stretch it and lower it, the front end will not pick up as easy. You will also lose a lot of your turn in and cornering ability.

Going -1 in the front is = to going up 2.5 in the rear. Its gonna give you quicker acceleration, but wont cost you all of your top end, i think it takes about 10-15mph off the top. As far as the stretch you will need a longer chain for sure. If you just do -1 front tooth the chain you have on will be just fine.
