You can put an extra tooth on the g/box on a curvey SVS with the standard chain, there's just enough rear wheel travel.
Mine has a 16T instead of the std 15T, and it's like Dizzy says. Feels more relaxed on long distance work. I always used to try for 7th gear, never do now. I don't go in for traffic light grand prix starts so I'm not bothered about that. Fuel economy doesn't change noticeably, maybe a mpg or 2, that's more down to riding style. You just have to get used to the new gear ratios, 16/44 makes 5th almost exactly half way between 5th and 6th with 15/44. As long as you use the correct gear there's little real world difference, real world isn't like race-tracks where you can optimise gearing for the circuit. If you want more relaxed, go 16T, if you want wheelies go 14T.

Not worth swapping sprockets depending on use no way, swapping a front sprocket is a right PITA and there's only so many times you can re-use the lock washer before you're playing with fire.

I'm one up on the front and it's great! Brilliant for the motorway 80mph on the clock and it's just chugging away at 6000revs.
As for the corners I have not had any problems either still has the power there to put down on the exit. |

You can order chains to whatever length you so desire.

I've got 3 (from naked) up on the back, I've had 130 indicated on the naked. Yes it makes it easier to pop up, especially in 2nd. I like it, but you're turning a lot of revs on the motorway.
