So, I finally got to change the front sprocket. 14T down from 15.

I dunno.. Maybe I was expecting too much, but I can't say I notice all that much of a difference. My motivation for changing it was making it go slower in first and second gear, making offroad a bit easier on the clutch and such (hey rhyme!). I guess it must go a bit slower, but my initial test driving around the parking lot wasn't all that great.

It did however feel a bit friskier going from 20-100 km/h

And now a question - Where does the bike get its speed reading from? Before changing the sprocket I was going somewhere around 105-110 km/h at 4000 rpm. With the new sprocket, it's more or less exactly the same?
