need advice on gearing

[Shean]

Hey guys i need a little advice on my gearig. I have an 08 busa, I went down one tooth on the front. I don,t know if it's me but it feels like the bike is losing power. Need help quick. Can anyone suggest any good gearing advice. Or do I just need to twist the throttle a little harder and enjoy the ride.

You did not lose any power...you just are not use to it yet. You will
have to give it more throttle to go the same speed (mph) in whatever
gear you are in. It will be quicker from 0-170ish, but you will lose a little
on the top end.

Enjoy it...-1 on the front is close to +3 on the rear sprocket...my '08 is +4 on the rear
