Was thinking of downgearing my rsv from its standard 17/42 by changing the front sprocket? Does anyone have any experience from doing this? Should I go for a 16t or a 15t? Has anyone worn a swingarm chain slipper?
 
i've got a 2000 model and had a play with the gearing, kept the back standard and used a 15 and 16, i've found the 16 is perfect, pulls like a train and dont really lose any top speed, the front wheel comes up lovely in first unlike the 15, i couldnt keep the front down, never thought i'de tire of wheelying but it was too much! hope this helps
 
16/44 is the usual mod mate. Renthals £30 ish. I've done it and it's fantastic. You just have to keep the weight over the front a bit more!
 
16/44 for me too , Renthal Sprockets & Chain form B&C Express , as STL says you cant go wrong with them :)
 
Thanks for the replys! Looks like it will have to be a 16t until the rear sprocket is worn out then ill go for the 44t on the rear. Although the 15t does sound suspiciously fun....
