I think you mean the rear sprocket. The counter sprocket is on the countershaft and is the front or drive sprocket. Going up a tooth will raise the gearing.
Yea I think I meant down a tooth on the front sprocket lol. Thanks for catching that

I may have used the wrong lingo there. I meant that it pulls for a much greater rpm range before needing to upshift.
I’m an in town rider and on my commute I can’t even go above 50 mph. Top end speed isn’t really my game so maybe the sprocket swap will be a good project at some point.
I just got my factory Service manual last night so I’m psyched about that.

Nice avatar Skypilot.
Before Cormanus becomes aware, it has been noted that the avatar lever is missing a RLET.
Very good glad I asked now I can order them in bulk

Words like that are going to land you in Knighthood (by some measuring stick).
Or invoke the spirit of Ridem32 who got so excited by RLETs that he cornered the market. Briefly.
