Hi - Time to change the chain and sprockets on my '98 FZS600 - Now before I get flamed too much 
when the bike was new I would have happily lowered the gearing for a bit more hooning but to be honest I am now in my mid 40's, planning on doing some euro tours later this year and find the current standard gearing a little too low for my riding style.
So I would appreciate any advice from people who have highered the gearing a little, what sprocket combo worked best? Did it dramatically affect the bikes riding characteristics etc
Any advice and feedback gratefully received

(BTW - Have already arranged to have the modified nut / washer fitted just in cases)
