18 to 19 counter
Thruxton felt pretty good with the 19 tooth sprocket... 80MPH = 4800 roughly instead of the 5000 as before. Little more "comfortable" RPM. Didn't feel too much difference in torque of the line, but I generally don't try wheelies with this bike. All in all nice upgrade for about 20 bucks if you ride the highway a lot.
On a side note, first street tank slapper this AM in about 10 years. Coming around a counter camber this AM, and truck in front of me decided to switch lanes. Threw me off focus, and I headed towards the shoulder in full tilt. Front end took a hell of a shake... But I was in control and even kinda chuckled as I watched her do the cha cha. It was mild compared to the 2004 KTM before the Scotts damper! Nice to have a little dirt experience under the belt, and to have a well handling ride. Thing rides on rails for what it is.
