Connie,

Congrats on your new bike.

Sounds like the 99 had a 43/19 front cog.
You can get a 43/17 installed for something
like $100.

If you do much riding on freeways or fast
secondary roads you might want to keep the
taller gearing as it offers smoother cruising.

If you ride in the mountains, I'd suggest a 43/17
as it cuts down on lugging/clutching in tight
uphill hairpins.

| ... One thing about the bike is the taller gearing.  The demo bike I
| rode was a 99 and pulled out much easier than the 2000 so anyone
| wondering about this, I have rode both and there is a big difference in
| the two!  The only thing I have to complain about so far is that I am
| missing one of the three bolts that holds the support bracket to the
| silencer.  Has anyone else ever lost any of these bolts or am I just
| lucky?

| Great bike!!!
