Upgrading front sprocket on the Bandit

[Dazbo666]

I'm not too bothered about top end speed, but would like to play with some extra acceleration, preferably without having to change the chain again...

Apparently the chain and sprockets were replaced immediately before I bought the Bandit in November 2009


So what sprocket / how many teeth are recommended ??

I tooth less front sprocket, will give better acceleration but a lower top speed

Is it an electronic speedo? As it will not read correct if you do put front sprocket with one less tooth on it.

Standard is 15 a tooth sprocket.

Edit: By going one tooth less on the front, you will need to adjust the chain.

Yes it's an electronic speedo. Does this mean that the actual speed will be higher or lower than the indicated speed??

If the actual speed is LOWER than the indicated, that would be OK, cos at least it would mean that I'm not breaking the speed limit... (there's two speed scameras at the end of our street, and I'm a bit paranoid about them)

Your actual speed will be lower then what is indicated on the speedo

Definately not reading from the front wheel (the old GPZ did that), and I'm 99% sure there's no sensors or extra cable going to the rear either.

I think there's a sensor cable running down to the front sprocket area, but since I havent had the sprocket cover off yet, I won't be able to confirm for sure until I get the socket set to it.

The advice being offered here is a big help though!!

It might well done but the fact it has an electonic speedo does not necessarily mean it is read from the sprocket.

Edit:- Missunderstood your point, assumed you meant if any bike has a digital speedo it read from the sprocket.

Apologies

My fault for the confusion

Should have wrote electronic speedo sensor in my first post.
