Stupid question ? Whats wrong with the stock ones.
Not a thing. Most who change sprockets are doing so to gear down the bike somewhat. Since the 14 will hit the speed limiter in 5th gear, going down a tooth in the front or up a couple on the rear will increase the acceleration, and make the gearing better for street use.
Note that if you change gearing you need to add a Speedohealer if you want your speedometer and odometer to remain correct.

suddenly becoming stationary...
That's what gets you.

I've been thinking about changing my front sprocket too. Any suggestions what brand to get Steve? 
yup!
Hey I suspected people would post up b*tching about the sunstar sprockets. Personally I never use anything except vortex, but I know of people complaining about having probs with the sunstars.
