I changed the gearing on my 996S to 14/40 and was amazed at the way it makes town riding so much better, but I was wondering why you think it's dangerous to change the front sprocket size?

I was told that due to the torque of the bigger engine, and the increased chain size, the chain did not appreciate running round a smaller radius sprocket, and that it was better (allthough more expensive) to go for a larger rear sprocket. I'm running 15/40.
