I bought the bike new and within a thousand miles put on a 14 tooth front. I felt it was better than the 15/43 but geared it down a bit too much. It is time for a new chain and I think a 15/44 should be a good compromise. I know a 15/43 is to high for my riding so it was either a 44 or 45.
Hi Chris,
OK, I see where you are coming from. Even on the ST4, sixth is more-or-less an overdrive, so if you never use it, it makes sense to have a first gear that's more low-speed friendly. Add a progressive throttle and I guess you'd find your ST was almost twist-and-go-easy in traffic!
