I didn't like the low speed characteristics of the bike .
So I changed the gearing ,one tooth smaller on the countershaft sprocket and 4 teeth more on the rear wheel .
It transformed the bike , now sixth gear is so much more usable and first gear allows you to travel at something near to a walking pace .
I probably overdid it on the rear end and two more teeth than standard would have been better for most people.
Anyway the mods to the gearing meant that I was able to run at higher rpm in the lower gears and avoid the snatchiness that you experience at lower revs in "the lean zone".
Which maybe explains why I haven't had the throttle body rubbers blow off .
