I've done the traditional 14T sprocket in the front but I wanna know if I should stay at 41T in the rear? Are there any benefits to going higher or lower in tooth count?

More teeth in the back will give you more grunt at the wheel, at the expensive of some speed off the top. The rough ratio is going down 1 tooth in the front is like going up 3 in the rear - but this is only rough. As you might figure, changing the number of teeth out back can allow you to fine tune the final drive ratio in smaller increments than you can by changing the front.
-Throttle's on the right, so are the brakes.  Good luck.
