So if I go a tooth smaller on the front to 14T and keep the 38T rear I should see a difference... yeah ?

Oh yes !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Talon make a 13 front, but it runs too close to the swinging arm. 14 will be fine

There's a "sweet spot" - around 4,600 RPM @120Km/hr in 6th gear for liter displacement superbikes, a little higher for 74X's. Obviously, faster tracks will require rear sprockets with fewer teeth, slower tracks more teeth (and possibly longer chains.)

I strongly recommended NOT changing the stock front sprocket or chain size for safety reasons. Just my opinion.

Shazaam!, I used this very chart that you kindly provided earlier in the year when I changed my gearing. Only problem being the listed sprockets for the 996R are incorrect. They have a 36 tooth rear as standard. Apart from that its a great bit of info.

Happy New Year!

If you do go that way let me know how it is as now I am running just a
15 front and 38 back, so curious how much of a difference it will be, if that front wheel comes up
