So we're on the same page. The only draw back of the 16T sprocket is this dead end around 65-70mph. Once you get up there, the larger sprocket makes the bike feel like it's too heavy to go much faster.
This is the only reason that I am altering the filter to begin with. I rode my buddy Mau's bike, which still has a 15T sprocket, and it feels more peppy and free spinning. He can also pull away from me on the open road.
Hopefully, with the correct carb adjustments and the pod filter, this dead spot will be corrected. If all goes according to plan, the added boost will be beneficial to everyone, sprocket change or not, but will allow those of us with the larger gearing to run at higher freeway speeds.
