sprocket questoin
I have a 04 10r and a buddy of mine sold his bike and gave me a vortex 15 tooth front sprocket. Stock is 17 tooth. I was wondering if 2 down is going to be to much for street riding. I don't want to lose to much top end and I don't want to buy a new chain. Any help is appricated!

Crist that's some gearing! Comes stock real tall but dropping 2 in the front is like adding 5 to the rear! It'll increase your revs at cruising speed and reduce your top speed by a pretty good amount.
Plus it gives the chain a sharper corner to turn at the front.

it'll also wear out your chain faster there will be more chain slap.. But that would be fun having all that accelleration

Yes its too xtreme for everyday street riding AND as mentioned the chain is subject to a very tight radius.
