  I bought my ride with the stock sprockets, then switched the front to a 18T. I never really noticed a change in take off nor clutch use. I did notice a huge change in the top end. This winter I have changed to the 38T rear so have nothing to really say about it.
Perhaps your clutch needs adjustment?
But the 18/38 was not an issue at low speeds or take off that was enough to notice, or at least in my riding style.

Theres a wealth of information here about sprockets and gearing, but I still have a question. Princess came to me with 17T (stock) front and 38T rear.  Blue (hubby's bike) has front and rear stock gearing. He's ridden both bikes, and theres a huge difference overall. My question is about takeoff and clutch wear. Princess leaps ahead when you first let out the clutch, Blue takes a little throttle and eases out smoothly.

So the question is, for those of you who changed your sprockets to 18T/38T, how's the takeoff?  If there's less leap and clutch riding than we have with Princess now, I'd be willing to make the change.
