Sprocket change for increased torque...

[Davy V.]

I'm considering dropping a tooth on the front sprocket or adding two on the rear sprocket to make the svartpilen pull a little harder in the 80-120km/h range.
Anyone here have experience with how the bike feels after such a change? Any recommendations on sprockets?

Great suggestion, thanks! Looks like dropping the front from 16T to 15T is the way to go.

I made it around 4000 on ODO. Couple weeks ago, with 9000km on ODO, I made a huge upgrade on suspension and now I switched back to original sprocket. Reason? With better suspension I have higher speed going to the curve and curve speed also. The original sprocket now feels much better.

I finally made the switch from 16T to 15T. I've only done one day of driving so far with the new gear, but it is noticeably torquier.
It doesn't make the bike too aggressive or unmanageable, so that's good.
Speed differences appear to be relatively small, e.g. using the 16T in 4th gear @ 5000 rpm was 92 km/h. With 15T, it is 86 km/h.
Happy with the change so far...
