I was just curious as how many of you are running lower gearing then stock on a 2013+
I just got my sprocket and I'm about to install it, I was hoping it would get rid of that dip just off idle that sometimes causes a stall. I believe the first gear is to tall and I think this will fix the only issue with this bike.

I too a the slightest of dip when coming off the line but if I stay on the pipe she rockets through the dip and almost out of control lol. But I was considering a 49t on the back instead
I have 16/49 on my '14. It is better. Didn't have to mess with chain length etc. It shortens wheelbase a bit, which i like. A 16/50 would be the same ratio as 15/47 and I think even better than my 16/49. (Except for the longer wheelbase?)
^That's great I wasn't sure if the 49T would have fit most bikes will take 2 up on the rear, but the street's wheel was already pushed forward in the adjusters pretty far.
No.... Don't worry about top end...it will still pull 'very' cleanly all the way close to 'in jail' 140. A little more fuel 'in-economy', but please, do we really care about going from 48mpg to 46......or 43 to 38.......
Go fot it. 16/50. It will shorten the wheelbase and all of a sudden you will have what you want. A 'outboard' motor sounding wheely mother terrorist!
Mine wheelies at about 8-10k or so if I have it pinned. Hard to say exactly since I don't stare at the revs when I have it pinned haha. 15T probably wouldn't be too bad, at least compared to liter bikes or my old duc monster 1100. That thing would power wheelie in third gear
I am bumping this thread to get more input from other 2013/14 street owners. I am still on the fence on changing the front sprocket to a 15 tooth. Has anyone gone back to stock after trying the 15 up front? I also thought about going to 49 on the rear instead but the rear tire is already almost all the way forward so I'd probably have to buy a longer chain. Going to 15 on the front would give it the same gearing as the 2013+ daytona, slightly longer wheelbase and ~ 500 higher rpms at highway speeds. I was set on doing this change, but after doing the speed throttle tube mod, I'm not sure if a sprocket change is required anymore other than the very long first gear and slight dip coming off the line that some members have noticed as well.
I went " the Other Way" and instead, went +1- hate it. Back to stock next week. Decided that I'm never gonna get a 'cruising' 6th gear on this bike, and, with that determined- am willing to do what you are doing, a -1 tooth front!
For the $15.22 delivered price of any front Sprocket- check it out, and, see if works to your advantage. An impact wrench is VERY helpful to do it, but, other than that- it's remove & replace. Finally, you DO loose the rubber grommet which is supposed to be a noise reducer on the stock 15 tooth, but, I found no increase in noise at any RPM in any gear with the +1 set up...
Fuel Economy- whatever. It may have increased mine, but, the overall demeanor of the bike changed for the worse (less of that insane rev piling that I so love), so, the +1 has to go. Do 'post up' your results, so, I can understand if the Hooligan nature is increased- maybe eve at lower RPM's- which wouldn't be a bd thing at all...
Great info, thanks all. I definitely have issues accelerating aggressively from a stop. It's really cut the ease and enjoyment around town. I've never had a bike that was this finicky from a stop. Also coming from several litre bikes and busa so having to abuse my clutch blows. I'm going to a 16/49, almost all my riding is on twisty so mpg/cruise rpm are not an important consideration. It's nice to hear others are having similar issues, I thought it was just because I'm a fat turd;-)
Lol, I thought it was just me until I saw this thread. It's not as bad now as the bike has broken in and with the arrow map it has reduced even more, but the dip is still there.
I've got a 15T and I love it. The bike is so much zippier in stop-start traffic. It's made all my rides so much more pleasurable, I would never go back the stock gearing. The revs are a bit higher but it's a small price to pay and I haven't noticed any difference in fuel consumption.
The 15T makes starts so much easier(normal), it was geared too high and was making stop and go a pain. It also gave the bike better drive out of the corners.
Hahaha, cruising at 90 in Oregon is a minimum 1000$ fine and impounded bike. Also, you must have incredible hulk neck muscles and popeye forearms, yes I'm jealous.:thumbsup:
That's it! I'm gonna do it. I HATE the 17 tooth front, and, pretty much said it in my review of the +1 Front Sprocket Thread. But, everyone & their brother is loving the -1 Front Sprocket, so, I'm gonna get one ($15.22 + FREE Shipping!) As long as they are in there- replacing the hated +1- why not just do it right and go -1. We are talking about a $15.22 variance, and, now that I'm not speeding anymore, I may as well enjoy the acceleration up to the very low limit, right? And, shorter gearing will allow me to use my quickshifter more often- and, that's why I got it! If I redline it in 5th gear- I'll lose my license, so, shorter gearing may actually help!
(yes, this is a rant to myself, validating why I'm gonna spend $15.22 for a shorter front sprocket)
I have 15 t up front but going to change back to 16. 49 or 50t to rear instead to shorten wheelbase. Jt sprocket. On highway it revs too much but otherwise pulls much nicer than orig.
I'm going to take the plunge this weekend moving to a 15t front. I've ordered the Daytona sprocket as it has the rubber spacers which supposedly keep things tighter.
Got the 15t fitted this weekend. I love it. The bike just seems so much more eager to propel you forwards. Would definitely recommend this to anyone with a 2013 Street Triple.
Just put a 15t on too. First gear is now about perfect for my taste. I expected 6th to be too short but the extra revs don't bother me, not having to downshift to 5th to pass is quite nice actually.
