Got the front sprocket off, degreased the area and the swingarm and chain  after the 2500 mile trip to Czeq and back,


found my 16 tooth front sprocket and put it on,


Just took it for a 20 minute spin,,,,,oh my ,,,it really is much, much, much  more fun with the 16 tooth front :lol

I had the front skimming the tarmac purely unintentionally exiting a roundabout next to M/C Megastore today - guess I was in third, didn't think I was really giving it any. So a smaller front sprocket just isn't needed on a gen 1 methinks!

Its hard to explain the mechanics of it Nick,low down a 125 will lift the front wheel, this shortens the range of acceleration from low revs to high, a smaller window of acceleration, across the gears,where its more fun,4th 5th 6th gears ,there is no need to use the last 10 mph of our bikes out put in 6th gear so this collates it a bit more near where we use the power and pull ability.


There are alot of "huh,why do that"  but dod as you are,ok,,but ask those who use their bikes on punch and brake A roads,fast,,it really gets it where you need it.
But if you go out for a Sunday pootle around, ride like a nice guy, dont ever do power,performance mods then you sure wont want to do this,
Some of us ENJOY the buzz  :lol


Did you know , the last time we rode the bends above Crossgates, i was in 5th gear most of the time :o ,we were not going fast enough to get into the power punch of the FZ1s
