    Before changing sprockets try less air pressure for more traction.

      If its smoking the tire now, dropping down a tooth on the countershaft will only make it worse. Try Billy's suggestion.

          As Dink stated, the later model GS bikes had a more forward weight bias than previous models. They aren't very wheelie prone to start with. And as Earl pointed out dropping a tooth will only make wheelspin more pronounced.
