Personally, I would go for 14/40 - smaller sprockets, shorter chain = lighter setup ;)
But it affects the speedo accuracy doesn't it?

Changing sprockets to anything other than standard gearing will throw your speedo out.

it does..changing the gearing in any way affects the reading on the speedo.

I don't care...mine runs in KMH and if I want to use the speedo - it is easy to go 30mph or 50mph...anything else doesn;t need a speedo... :mrgreen:

@ Hadies - I agree, it looks better...but for me, performance has priority over a tart's handbag every time!

I don;t get it when people have mechanical piles of shite with spanky fairings, wank sticker kits and stuff that makes no difference to whether the bikes works or not...
