I have a question as to what exactly adding a tooth or 2 to the front sprocket does. I understand it lowers the RPMs and makes for a somewhat smoother highway ride. My question is, does it add any actual MPH to the top end, or do you go the same speed, just at a lower RPM?
Also, it seems most have had mods done to thier bike that have added a few teeth. If I don't have several mods on my bike, will adding a tooth be too much of a strain? Or can I add a tooth and not feel like I'm starting off in second gear all the time?
