I've got the stock 15 tooth, & I've listened to all the comments about first gear being all but useless. I've never had any problem, so today I decided to do a check. Riding normally, pulling away from stopsigns I kept an eye on the speedometer. I found that I was accelerating comfortably in first, up to 30km/hr (20mph) before I needed to change to second. In the handbook, first is shown as 2.636 (29/11) which I assaume is the same as American GZs, so I can't understand the difference. :??:
