I have -1 front 14 tooth front. That gives me little more torque and more faster acceleration, but makes my revs a little higher than standard and top speed little lower. About 300 revs more in 6th and 500 revs more in 2nd. Acoording to gearing commander http://www.gearingcommander.com/ that also makes my top speed lower 133mph compared to 143mph standard.
I really do over 100 so not bothered at all
That improves the acceleration in foots per second from 22 to 25 ft/s2 according to:

14 tooth
9100 rpm
59mph
500 lbf
25 ft/s2
Standard:
9100 rpm
62mph
460 lbf
22 ft/s2
If you change ratio 1 tooth change in front equals 3 tooth change rear. Means -1 front = +3 rear. You can do both obviusly if you want bigger impact.
Moto gymkhana guys go say for smaller front and really huge rear sprocket. That gaves them huge acceleration and more torque. Not very suitable for road riding.
I am thinking about doing gymkhana at some point and have the 51 rear sprocket ready. I reckon because its not very drastical change I'll be able to ride on the road with it too
Finally you can go the other way to have bigger front and smaller rear. This will make your ride more relaxed with less revs on the motorway.
If you want relaxed ride I suggest the Fazer 600 is not for you
The whole point of small capacity IL4 engine is to go in high revs and scream. It is detuned supersport engine.
You need relaxed ride get low revs twin engine. Like Honda Dullville
Or really big liter bike one like FZS 1000. Or Bandit 1250. These are relaxed motoway tools if you want them to be.
Just fit an FZS1000 one and have done with it
mines a 99 and i usually get 120 brim to light on normal riding
with the mrs on i get closer to 150
if i`m on a mission more like 100 if i`m lucky but that alot of berry work
That's the lowest i've ever heard?

he likes my mk1 box eye and is biting at the bit to have his own so i`ve suggested that a nut n bolt job would teach him all he needs to know and prepare him for the road ( so he dont have to ring dad when sumet goes pee tong lol )
????? )
Hi Paul cheers for the reply I've had some advice since I posted all I want is a little less revs when cruising on the motorway seems that one tooth bigger at the front is what I need not fussed about the slight loss of acceleration thanks again
Just woke up, read this post at 5am, and am now £30 lighter 10 minutes later.
They need replacing anyway, i couldn't be without heated grips, i use them for most part of the year.

Wow thanks for all the advice guys . I do about 5k a year and I tend to rude quite smoothly so I think progressive feel is probably better for me . Think I'll have a good look around tomorrow .
A smooth ruder.
