irish-zx10r:
Looking good what chain and sprockets are you getting ?
Crownan:
Forgot about that! I'm going -1/+1 but the rear didn't turn up at the garage last week so they checked the stock rear and its in good nick so they fitted the -1 front and new chain and are gonna fit the +1 rear this week.
-1 feels like a nice improvement, doubt I'll really notice much more difference with the +1 but I might as well execute what I'd originally planned 8)

I can get a new 15 tooth sprocket handy from a friend, would this be going to low from the std front sprocket? Will your bike be a lot louder with the changes you are doing ? i know i did it on my old zx9r and it increased the volume from the exhaust because of the bike reving so much.

A 15 tooth front would be about the same as adding 5 to the rear, thats quite a difference. It has made the bike louder yes, as you say the bike revs more relative to speed and therefore it is a bit louder, but you can just shift up and keep the revs down.
I know there are people on the US site that run 15s 'with no problems' though others say that it puts the chain through a far more acute angle and so wears the chain much quicker and stresses it more. Personally I don't know for sure though. :glasses9:
