Two up at the rear gives roughly 5% more revolutions per mile, two
smaller at the front is almost 12% change.

IIRC my ST's OEM sprocket was a Sunstar, which is what I replaced it
with
(steel) for longer life.
Sure, "aluminium" reduces unsprung weight but we're talking street bikes
here.
I sourced all my replacement chains and sprox at
MotorCycleOnlineStore.com last
time around. JT for the front and Sunstar for the rear. Mention your
HSTA
membership for a discount.
Now why would you go up 2 in the back rather than dropping one or two in
the
front? Seems easier to me w/o risk of needing another link in the
chain, etc.
