I don't know how he was able to determine this, but if true, then yes the overall ratios for gears 1-5 will be different on the 2014. I assume this also means acceleration on the 2014 will be vastly improved over 2013 despite the slight weight gain.

CA probably looked at the parts diagrams for 13s and 14s while investigating alternative sprockets for his 13.
With a 1 tooth larger rear sprocket they might be slightly different ratios than the 13, but the relationship between gears 1-5 remain the same and the 6 th gear will be a numerical overdrive much different than gears 1-5.

So ferret, are you saying my 2014 DLX (when and if it comes) will NOT have "vastly" better acceleration than the '13 model? Just kidding... I realize that one tooth on the rear sprocket will not make a substantial difference. It might be interesting, though, for someone with a lot of time on their hands to figure out what the overall ratios in the gears would be with a 39 and 40 tooth sprocket.
Maybe popgun could get on the parts fiche and start counting gear teeth.
