I put a 31 tooth sprocket up front to replace the stock 29 tooth, and a 66 in the rear to replace the stock 68 on my Stage 1 '16 Forty Eight.

I likely couldn't pull wheelies now...not that I was going to anyway...but I did knock 300 RPM's off the 5th gear at 70 MPH.

Well worth it to me...totally changed the dynamics of the ride, and second gear is actually useful now as well...

I might give mine a little more now that I converted it to a 1200 but I felt like I'd be pushing my luck going further than 1200 gearing with an 883.
