[ST] Gearing Question



I just ordered a chain and a new pair of sprockets for my 01.  At 18k miles 
the stock chain has had it.  I ordered up a Triumph brand 17 tooth counter 
sprocket, thinking that I'd go for a little more acceleration at the expense 
of top speed since I don't ride at 155mph very often.  Anyway, I thought OEM 
was an 18 tooth, but it looks like it's 19 based on the FAQ.  Has anyone 
dropped down two teeth on the front?  If so, what are your impressions?  Any 
problems?  Big drop in gas mileage?  I'm keeping 43 on the rear.  If it's 
too radical of a change, I guess I can always go for the 18 later.

Thanks for the help,

John in NJ
