Well today I installed my 43 tooth rear sprocket. I really like the results. Not quite as much engine braking now. The bike has a more relaxed feeling now. First gear take off is just as good as before but a bit more useful now. I like the way it shifts through all the gears. Nothing earth shattering but again it feels a bit more relaxed. I think they could have made it come this way as stock, but that's just my opinion. I am happy I did this and I only spent $35.00 + shipping from the Sprocket Center. It was also quite easy to do. Oh and I got to use my Motion-Pro sprocket alignment tool to make sure it was set up properly. I hope this helps anyone else who might be thinking about doing this mod.
