RE: 17 teeth to the smile

With an 18 tooth on the stock 99 ST (I think), I can't decide which is more
insane: going to a 17 tooth for less than 3 seconds 0-60, or going to a 19 
tooth for more than 140 mph top end.
=====================================

It may be only for 3 seconds, but boy what a 3 seconds it is!!! <very big
grin>


And yes, we were able to use the same chain (no links needed to be removed).
This will decrease the amount of adjustment left, necessitating chain
replacement a bit earlier, but what the heck, with tyre replacement
costs/intervals etc. I don't really mind the extra expense for a
sport/passion that I adore. If cost is an issue/value then you probably
wouldn't want to perform this mod. BTW, the sprocket cost me approx. $95
AUD.

And it does make for more "available" (but more controllable) mono's...
