yesterday was able to throw on a 16T sprocket on the 14R. The bike is completely stock with 7600 miles on it. Well I took it out and noticed right away that around 1800rpm to 2500rpm give or take afew that the bike just ran like shit.
Now you can blast thru this RPM ranger and probably not notice anything if your racing, but say you get behind a car that takes the same turn as you on a slide grade going uphill... Well the bike just wants to buck you off. I would consider it unsafe it can be so bad. Now of course if theres no traffic where you live or you use the bike for drag racing then theres a damn good chance you wont notice it.
Be warned tho if you are pulling a grade, slow traffic where your forced to follow without the option of passing then you will most likely feel and hear the bike surge, buck or whatever else you want to call it.
Im throwing the bike back on the lift and going back to the stock 17. This is clearly one of those mods that ruins the smoothness of the 14R and in some situations I consider it dangerous.
I wanted to see it for myself and I have. Believe me if your bike has the issue after replacing the sprocket you will know it.
Creeps.
