What do you not like about the stock gear ratio?

I want a bit more acceleration and a good way to achieve this is by changing the gear ratio.

If it's like my older bike, a 14 T'bird LT then it uses the rear wheel ABS sensor to measure speed. Changing sprocket sizes will not affect that as it's measuring wheel speed.

The original Thruxton R gearing is 16 / 42 and I found that very busy for such a big engine .
Some drag racers were even moving to a 17 front feeling the 1/2 shift was coming up to suddenly . I gave it a few trys and it was easy to see where they were coming from .
The 17/42 is some what busy as well but for the way I use it I enjoy the acceleration and it never does real hiway work . If you do some long rides on the freeway the 17/40 might be better .
