    Well... I've changed the front sprocket for the 15T today and just nipped out on it for some bits and bobs...

    :D

    Transforms the bike!! Lot quicker on the uptake. As for the fun part- powers up in 3rd! Me likey!

    Only thing I have noticed is that once the front wheel is up it wants to drop down more than on standard gearing so you have to wind it out a bit more but I guess that makes sense.

    As for the speedo I set off a 30mph matrix thingy and was recording 34/35 on my speedo so it can't be miles out. Unless it has really long range and got the car that was about 100 yards behind me?

    Anyway if anyone has a blade and whats to spice it up a little (and also doesn't have access to a straight bit of tarmac where you can max it out all the time), its a very worthwhile investment.

    Cheers

    I have gone -1 front and +2 rear also 55 profile tyre, I use a speedo healer just because I want the speed I see to be correct but also to make sure the mileage is reading right :)
    They don't cost much from eBay ;)
