If your running stock tires i would suggest 15/38 or like you said 14/36 but its alot easier and cheaper to start with the front sprocket.
I run 18" rears and run 15/36.
Hope this helps ya out.

I run a 13 tooth front b/c I run 20" razr 2's with tire balls so my tires are really heavy. I only have an air filter and slip on as well so I need the extra low first gear ocassionally while racing.

Im going to go back up to 14 once I do some more engine work.

Thanks man i appreciate it!! I honestly could not believe the difference in top end by just changing to a 15t front. IMO it should come from the factory with 15/38.

I think i would only find 1st gear a issue if it was in super tight technical trails.
You should be fine dragging with that setup.
I raced 2 craptor 700's both with the big 3 and I only had a 15t front sprocket at the time. Everything else was bone stock and i pulled the holeshot and just kept pulling away. This was down the road.
