If you want better pick up like your mate did its easier and cheaper to go for a 14 tooth front. Very cheap at only �10 or so from BandC express. It does drop the top speed by a few mph but isnt anything massive. It makes the bike pick up alot easier, you can near wheelie in 2nd with out the clutch and easily in 3rd with the clutch, and it also makes the bike feels as if its more free'er revving.

But changing the sprocket sizes means its changes your speedo read out. Not by much, if you get the 14 tooth sprocket at a indicated 70mph your only doing 65mph in real life. You can buy a speed healer if you want but most dont bother
