14T sprocket is now on my Panigale 959 Corse.

Kind of a hassle getting all the brackets, etc. out of the way just to install a front sprocket, but well worth my effort.

I have this same mod on my Monster 1200R, and couldn't be happier with the results on the 959.

I understand the 959 is a Sport/Track bike, but it's the 'around town' ease of riding that make this mod so appealing to me.

I hesitate to even call it a 'mod', as I view it as more of a correction. The difference is that dramatic.

Can anyone comment if the 14T is an advantage or disadvantage with respect to track riding?

Thanks

Hi DR,
The 959 with -1F was great at the track as much as on the street. All Italian bike are geared too long.

Does anyone know where I may buy a C-spanner wrench to adjust the rear Ohlins shock on my 959 Corse?

Thanks

I see some people added a new chain with 2 plus links when going up 3 teeth in the rear to"keep the stock wheelbase" . Is this necessary. Will the stock chain fit a 3+ tooth sprocket?

This is just for illustration purposes and to show some theoretical impact on gear change effect. The math methodology could be off (especially the 0~60 mph*). I also used a 160mph top speed as a base although it may run a few mph faster so please don't tear-apart the messenger.

Stock 160mph? I’ve brought my stock 959 to rev limiter in 6th and the Speedo read 183mph. I know these speedos are not 100% accurate but to say they are off 23mph? Doesn’t seem right.

The post (and the thread) was not about the top speed.
Please re-read my quoted post with particular emphasis on "for illustration purposes and to show some theoretical impact on gear change effect"
