Changed from a 16 to a 15 tooth front gear

[MickLC]

I inadvertantly went from a 15 to a 16 front when I changed my sprockets a few months ago. Didn't know the previous owner had made the change and just bought the standard sprockets. The pro's were that it cruised at speed much better, a lot smoother with the 16. The con's were that it doesn't take off from the lights quite as well and the front doesn't come up as easy.
Not sure what I'll do next time...plus I might have one of those '05 silver ZX10R's by then (in my dreams )

Guys, if you want to do it, don't wait. I got a non genuine from Melbourne Kawasaki (Cosways) for about $16 a few years back.
Just need a 26 or 27mm(?) socket a long breaker bar.
Remember that any earlier bike that have a cable driven speedo from the front wheel, the speedo's accuracey won't change.

C'mon, just do it, it's only the cost of a tank of fuel.

i wanna do it so i can get the 7r up.

whats the difference in km range per tank.
