I did this mod recently and wholeheartedly agree this is a must do. The bike just feels "right." The bike seems much happier and always in the right gear. It is much more lively and in my opinion safer since it takes off from a stop with more authority and responsiveness. I have not noticed any added buzziness (but I did add HVMP bar ends at the same time). I now use my gps as my speedometer but eventually I'll get a speedohealer or something.
I did the 15T for half a season. It is fantastic in the twisties but on the highway at 70+ mph the revs get pretty annoying. I went back to stock and am liking it better
Yes on the 15 tooth. I love it. The bike still will do 130+ so that's plenty fast. I also did the speedo healer and that makes the speedometer accurate.
Great mods. :thumbup:
Well I'm throwing a 16t back on the bike, I have some touring coming up and the RPMs at highway speeds are just a little much for me. I do like the torque though, gonna be hard to give that up.
