Having switched out my sixteen tooth sprocket for the 18t early on, and the back down to the 17t about a year later. I had forgotton about me old 16 toother residing in a drawer,collecting dust. Well,with nothing else to do last sunday I decided to slip her back on. Hadn't had it on since doing all the mods. Freak and such. Man,what a blast. You know its really a shame they didn't build these bikes with a six speed transmission. It would sure have made it better all around. You could then have a lower first for easier take off's and slow speed handling and a higher sixth for more or less overdrive. The 16 tooth sure wakes up the sleeping demon, tho at the cost of higher rev's on longer rides.

I read the title and thought this was a post about the Kentucky State Legislature.

I've kept my 16T front sprocket and added two teeth out back, and liked the better pick-up. Yeah, it's a tad noisy on the highway, but then again, I love the combination of engine/wind, am I wrong for that??

My first reaction was... what, another rip on West Virginia
then I realized that was about twice as many as anyone there has so he must be talking about a sprocket!
