Does the 796 have fully adjustable suspension? Might be worth going through a setup process for your liking.

Also have you checked the suspension is set to factory? Mines wasn’t when got it and the pre-load wasn’t even set the same in the forks. Simple things like that can help you before you get deeper into the setup.

Try the cable tie on the fork leg trick to see how much it compresses. You want to be using as much travel as possible but without hitting the bump stops.

As for the sprocket thing. Do you know if you’re running factory front and rear? I had 39t rear (factory) and 14t front…it was all I knew as it was on it when I bought it. By all accounts it’s a good setup. However some like a standard front 15t and to go up on the rear. I have recently done this and went to 42 rear. The difference is incredible.
