Yes its me again
You can tell the riders who have got new bikes and know bug**r all about them can't you.
Is there any advantage in taking 1 tooth off the front of my 999 (no daft comments please) ie. having a smaller sprocket or have most riders found the gearing ok on this bike.
There is a lot of talk on this subject for the 916 range but i have not spooken to anyone about my bike yet.
At present my bike is standard.

yes 14t on the front works usual improvements in acceleration etc

14 tooth front and 38 rear,big improvement,better low end and midrange.

Thanks for your advise
will it mean taking any links out of the chain or is it just a case of putting the new sprockets on and putting it all back together.
