    i know this has probably been asked a thousand times but when dropping a tooth on front sprocket how do people find it? And how far out is the speedo?
    Im thinking about doing it to give it a bit more acceleration out of corners etc on the road

    Thanks craig

    Prob won't notice much difference. Best to drop 1 on the front add 2 on the back. That is noticeable and make the bike more fun / usable for real world riding.

    Speedo will read higher but never tested it. Your odometer reading will increase quicker though which you might want to consider. You can get speedo healers

    Ive gone one down on the front and two up at bike, I would estimate it makes 2nd about 1st and a half if you get what I mean. The speedo does read higher but the bike is a different animal loads more lively when twinned with a quick action throttle its a lot to get used to, the thing just launches out of bends with some serious welly and wheelies at will. You really have to watch that your suspension is set up well and tyres are hot especially in the wet as it will spin up and step out with alaarming vigour and regularity.
    I love it and it the way it totally changes the bike one of the best mods I've done.

    Mate - that's made me want to do the same to mine!

    I can run the Digital HUD on my phone to show real speed !

    I dropped a tooth on the front and chucked a MotionPro quick action throttle on. Found it gives a bit more down low with robbing much at the top or making it a handful around town.

    With that set up can you still use the standard length chain

    Alright guys I'm getting +1 at the back and -1 at the front in a couple of weeks should I expect this to make much of a difference?
