To give you an idea of what else this mod does, me and a mate both have the same year FireBlade (2003), he has dropped 1 tooth on the front and the difference is quite noticable.
For instance:
Last weekend some corners I was dropping to 1st as I went in but had to short shift to 2nd in the bend to get the drive out, he kept his bike in 2nd enetering the bend.
He gets more engine braking than I do because of his gearing
He can often get on the gas a fraction earlier than I can coming out of a bend, his revs are already higher and "in the zone"
It's not just about acceleration. I'm going to sort mine at the next service.
