Changing Sprockets to change power delivery

Hey guys, here is another stupid question from me. has anyone gone up one or two teeth on their rear sprocket? (or one down on their front, which is not my preference). the superhawk loves to be wound out. but in traffic it bucks in protest. and speed limits are always a problem with surcharges and all. i like the power curve but i would like to move it down a bit. let me know. thanks. and as always....... ride safe!

there is not such thing as a stupid question. (however, yours comes very close). the search function is a pretty good option for things like this as a first step, then you can be more specific in your question if needed.

lots of gearing info in this thread https://www.superhawkforum.com/forum...2F43+sprockets If you change your gearing you will need a speedohealer or similar product for your speedometer to read accurately though

At least he is honest.
In the long run though, if you want helpful answers you should do a little work as people tend to get annoyed at writing the same response over and over and over and over...
