Fewer front/more rear = faster acceleration
More front/fewer rear = slower acceleration
But, torque and bhp can't change but I'll see a difference on the rev counter?
Personally, I'm not interested in better graphs on a dyno reading or anything, it's not a sports bike, I just want to make it comfy for commuting and weekend runs with mates etc.
There is no ideal gear ratio, ratio is always tradeoff between comfty highway OR comfty slow speed commuting. I guess staying with standard ratio 15/48 is probably the best compromise. Unless you do extensive highway riding then lower ratio like 17/47 may help. High extreme ratio like 13/53 is for moto gymkhana wannabes :-)
I may be wrong I am laymen too just too much nerd I guess LOL
