3) on the motorway in 5th you need to be around 4600 - 4900RPM to smooth it out, if you sit just below 4500RPM it buzzes and just feels crap.
4)if your doing a hill climb is 2nd the engine is chugging / getting bogged down...like you need be in a 1.5 gear (1st is no good as it spins)
My bike is stock and i know the Kev mod / airfilter /exhaust mods help. Im going to do all this (plus more) over the winter.
So...if i put the 14T on the front what will that do to the things ive listed?
Thanks
Phil

The answer is yes!
However................
It will lead to higher stresses on the chain and increased ware on the front sprocket - you would have to keep an eye on this.
If you are going to be doing a lot of off road very 'technical' stuff I would say go for it.
If not stick with the 15t and concentrate on the air in and exhaust out improvements.
I would not do it just to get rid of the buzz you mention - for this check security/torque of engine mount bolts especially if you have disturbed them whikle fitting a skid plate/bars.
I did not fit a speedo healer as I was travelling slower than indicated - the right side of the law!.
Just my thoughts.
