Being a Suzuki Noob this might seem like a stupid question.
but going from a final drive ratio of 2.73 to a ratio of 2.56 seems like big jump for a small displacement bike.
would it make more sense to change the front and rear sprockets at the same time to something like 16/42 for a final ratio of 2.62, or to 15/40 for a final ratio of 2.66?
and shouldn't the weight of the rider have a large impact on what that bike will be able to do at those ratios.?
