Gear sprocket changes to improve acceleration
#7
As has been said, you get more bang for the buck by changing the front sprocket - plus it's a much easier job.
Just one tooth down makes a fair bit of difference and you will feel it.
You already know that revs at highway speeds will be higher and you're ready to accept that along with a bit less gas mileage due to those higher revs.
But you're looking for more poop off the line so I don't think you care all that much about mileage Big Grin
Have fun Thumbs Up
