2016 one tooth down

[Sissymc7]

Just ordered renthal front sprocket one tooth down for my 2016 s1000 . Just curious anyone else running this gearing on the roads all feed back good and bad welcome .

Not make it a wheelie machine?

Gearing

If you shorten the wheelbase the bike becomes particularly lively at the front end.

1 tooth down lengthens the wheel base

Still wheelies like a MoFo..if you roll on and don't just get it spinning.

it will do wi 200bhp

Yup! Must try the rear brake trick to pull it down.

Guys, does this effect the speedo? I assume the sensor is ok the abs module not the gearbox? Also for fast road riding and occasional train days do you recommend this mod?

Changing sprocket sizes does not affect the speedo.

A lot of people say fitting a thumb brake makes this much easier.

Yes, I've looked into this but if it isn't in yr head it's not gonna be any different lol. The thought leaves me as soon as I swing a leg over and grin factor takes over....
