Dropping to a 14 tooth front sprocket is what most of us here have done in the past. I run a 996RS race bike, and it's the one thing I will definately be doing shortly.

As for speedo, don't worry, it's taken from your front wheel, so no matter what you do to the gearing, the speed should read the same unless you start friggin around with different wheel and tyre sizes!
