Think i'll just do it next time I go there, or check how much it cost to get it done at this other bike shop, they fix ducs there too.

I put around 2500 miles on my 1100 EVO before going with the 14T sprocket and it just leaps off the line and doesn't feel like it is lugging below 4000rpms anymore.  I can cruise along the freeway and actually use 6th gear now.  With the 15T I had to be going at least 80 just to shift into 6th and not lug the engine.  Probably lost a bit of top end speed and I'll admit that my shift points all went down which means more shifting but it was worth it.  Besides, it was only $60 for the sprocket and I still have the 15T I can swap back at any time if I want.  It's a really easy mod to do yourself.

unless you are going to be riding in city traffic(less than 40 mph) for more than 75% of the time, you wouldnt need it.
i usually only shift into 6th past 80. else its riding 5th.

The dealer at the shop recommended I keep the stock sprocket a little longer and see if I still want to change it after 1000 miles. Seems like I'm getting used to it but it's still a bit annoying in traffic. Thanks for the advice guys! Now that I can rev her higher maybe I can stay in 1st gear when riding in 10 mph traffic

Was this Forza or Ducati Miami? This is very important in my reply.

Talk to Charlie or Steve. Lucho if you can catch him in the front. I don't know Jorge, unless you're referring to George. The only reason they could give is that the 14t might put additional strain on the chain, but it's so minimal that it's a waste of breathe.

Sorry I meant George, Lucho is the one who did the service for me. I keep wanting to put it more and more so  getting it as soon as I can
