How great is our bike of choice if we're now discussing ways to tame the monster a bit?

I realize my cruising RPM will elevate with this, and because the bike is already really powerful I don't want to go to too extreme measures here. How can I make the bike pull harder? Should the front or rear sprocket be swapped, or both? Is one a more difficult endeavor than the other? Same question in regards to price.

to accelerate faster all you need to do is downshift. it is that simple.

Can't downshift from first!

For hard street battles I used to go -1 on the front and +3 on the rear. Might be too much on a long ride though. I voted both.

Hard core track tricks:
1. 520 chain conversion -1 & +3
2. remove wheel seals
3. remove chain slider

I'm backing off from this. I was already going 30 or so when I felt it start to kick out from under me; that's good enough!

Thanks for all the information, I ordered my 17 tooth front sprocket last night!
