May get some varying opinions and preferences about this, but would suggest staying with the stock sizes on both sprockets.

Good Fortune! :)

I've got a stock 77 and I run a 14T in the front. It's not a huge change but it does pull away easier. I've ridden the BRP plenty of times and I never had a problem getting up and down those hills. IIRC, there was a rise of almost 1k RPM at 70 mph over the 15T, no big.
