2012 Sprocket sizes

[Bladeboy]

Looking at putting a +2 sprocket on the rear. Anyone done this and will it fit with the standard length chain?

2012 prefers a longer wheelbase,rather than shorter.IMO you are better off with a 16t front.

Side thought, The speedo is off the ABS ring right, so there's no way to gear the thing to read the right speed, correct? I hate how much it over-reads. It's more than 10% imo.

I assume the only way to fix that would be taller tyres.

Whatever gearing you use won't change the way the front wheel turns...

I fitted a bigger back sprocket and have not noticed any bad affects, the reason I did not go down smaller front was that the chain get a hard time anyway without having to rotate round a smaller area putting links under more stress.

Ran smaller front on my '10 for 3years with no probs, mind you, was cleaned and lubed after every ride
