better wheelies

Going up teeth on the rear gives you better wheelies......so does putting a fat chick on the back. Dropping teeth should lower your RMPs at hwy speeds and give you a little better gas mileage.

Slightly better MPG, lower RPM at highway speeds and probably will not notice any change in the low end.

My gas mileage did suck and my speed hand was off just a little.

Wrong way, wheelies will be harder. Longer wheelbase and less rear teeth. Gen1 stock gearing is 17/40, gen2 is 18/43.
If he has a gen1 that was 17/42 and is now back to stock at 17/40, his gas mileage may improve slightly, his rpms will be a little lower, there will be a few more mph per gear and top end, the wheelbase will increase by about a half inch or a little more(by axle slid further back in swingarm), and the speedometer will be a little closer to being correct, as they are off 7 or 8% average stock.
But it will still wheelie easy!

Might notice a little less snap down low for the stock gearing. Less torquey(new word) low end and fat chicks are only meant for harleys, Its in the harley manual and I believe the purchase and sales agreement.
