Since 1st and 2nd gear aren't as slow as I was hoping for, I'm kind of regretting changing the sprocket. Those 5 highway hours were tiresome. 5k+ rpm all the way. Nonstop rain didn't help, though. Hopefully the offroad trip planned for this weekend will make up for it!

I'm pretty sure you will notice the difference once you take the bike off road - you'll stay in second rather than chopping down to first more often. The down side is it will ware more quickly than the 15th. More miles on the engine will also help that ability to stay in a higher gear + any mods on the air and exhaust side - sorry not sure what mods you have already done to the engine performance.
