mine came with the 18t stock, I went to the 19 and HATED it. Some people seem to like it.
It only reduced revs at highway speed by about 500 rpms, I was cruising at 70mph at 3900-4000 rpms instead of 4400-4500 with the 18t sprocket.
The worst thing for me with the 19t was how loooooooooooong each gear felt, like I was always waiting to shift. I went back to the 18t and liked it ok, then I tried a 17t and the bike felt like someone unhooked the trailer that was behind it. I've had the 17t for about 10,000 miles now and I would never switch back. I actually bought a new rear sprocket with one more tooth to further lower the gearing. I don't mind cruising at 4500-4600 rpms, it's a little buzzy but the bike likes it just fine. Better to rev the motor than lug it, plus there's no need for a downshift to pass, just WOT.
