Depends on the circuit. I've heard that some people change from 10 teeth to 9 teeth on the engine sprocket, which is equivalent to about 8 teeth on the rear sprocket. Seems a huge jump to me.

On the tighter circuits you can get away with huge jumps because the corners are so much slower in the wet - but on circuits with long straights you might find you run out of revs. Pays to experiment - I tend to aim for 15,600 rpm at the end of the longest straight as a starting point - and then check how low the revs get in the slowest corner. Try to avoid going much less than 9000 rpm if you can.
