Since fitting the larger rear sprocket I've noticed that Big Zed hasn't felt as composed under hard acceleration and it wallows a bit in faster corners. So I've had a bit of a twiddle with the suspension. I added a turn of compression on the rear along with half a turn of rebound and added a little bit of preload to the front forks.
 Took it for a good hard ride yesterday and with the new Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa's it now rides and handles like it should. I have so much more confidence at turn in point than in any other bike. Well happy!

Cool somebody actually noticed that the effective extra power by gearing down effects handling

The worst part was when accelerating really really hard in a straight line the back end would 'chatter' like it was constantly compressing and rebounding a hundred times a second if you get my meaning, just no control.

its probably more to do with the larger sprocket shortening the chain, which shortens the wheelbase. When I took my D7F to Actiforce Racing for the suspension setting up, the first thing he said I needed to do was put an extra link in the chain (or fit a 1st Gen chain) to my bike to move the wheel back. He said the 10mm or so made such a difference when they were testing them, more stable in corners, less likely to rear-up etc.
