Will I be able to feel a difference in acceleration by going from a 29 tooth front pully to a 27? 02 1200C, taxes paid.

Hi.

Yes, you will feel a better off the line, but the trade off is less top end and more vibration, as the engine will be truning more RPM's to do the same speed.
So, I guess if you do mostly around town and twisty riding, then it's a good Idea. If you do more Freeway/ long distance then i would leave it be.


BTW, you have a very nice bike there indeed.

It's not a huge difference, but it is noticable. There are other sprocket/pulley sizes available if you search around.

As usual one should be looking at their goal. With the right combination of front/rear sprockets, almost anything is possible (within reason). Just keep in mind that the more you gain in acceleration, the more you lose at the top end and vice versa.

I considered fooling with sprocket sizes but decided not to. For all around performance, the 27 suits me fine.

Kinda pricey but here ya go. 26t pulley:

Jeffytune, thanks for the compliment. Most of my riding is around town, and when I do cuise, I take the back roads, usualy around 70mph. I'm just looking for a little more giddy up stop light to stoplight, and I don't have much a desire to go much over 100mph anyway.
