Id be interested to see how the clip ons fit and look
I take it that changing the front sprocket has no effect on the speedo, where is the speed taken from?I have changed the stock front sprocket 15 by a 14.
My dealer has fitted it (82€ with fitting). They only removed / fitted sprocket .
It's not a radical mod but after doing a day ride on various roads, i noticed a little bit quicker regime rmp rise and better transition with shifter dqs, that's the most significant change.
Now i'm waiting for new clip on LSL to change my position, i 'l receive them this week.
I have wondered about that too but essentially the rotation is the same peripheral distance so perhaps it has no affect because the tyres size determine the peripheral distance.I take it that changing the front sprocket has no effect on the speedo, where is the speed taken from?
More than likely taken from the front wheel ABS speed sensor.I take it that changing the front sprocket has no effect on the speedo, where is the speed taken from?
Do you have the url link to the suppliers siteI 'll publish a thread about clip on lsl after fitting.
The smaller front sprocket (or larger rear) will increase the "snappiness" of the engine, at the cost of top speed. More useful for city riding, hooning and doing wheelies, but you run down the freeway at higher revs.I feel like the gearing is spot on for our SS. I dont feel the need for the change. Am I missing something?Not banging on you guys for wanting what you want, just trying to understand the need, is all.
Just depends on how and where you ride, I suppose. Stunters do it for one reason, I do it because I don't live by an autobahn, but in a city surrounded by mountains with roads to match 5 minutes away. Much of my riding is on roads where 5th gear is only briefly used and 6th even less. My primary concern is driveline smoothness and engine response, with fuel economy a close second.I feel like the gearing is spot on for our SS. I dont feel the need for the change.

I ordered them on a french website ;Do you have the url link to the suppliers site
The behavior is not like my previous monster 1100s with 14 and termi , after several days i appreciate a lot this small change .It's to give her a wilder behavior.
The stock gearing is right but feels a little linear especially when you come from older Ducati models.
Not not necessarily a bad thing but I can understand the need.
Please let us know what you choose and your impressions.......engine response...
To achieve about the same ratio as the O.P. I'll add teeth to the rear instead to maximize chain and sprocket and life.
