After my 3rd Thunderhill trackday on the bike, I've some to the conclusion that it's overgeared for my riding style. I've read up on different ratios, and the traditional -1/+2 or +3 would be too low for street use (since it is also my street bike). I want to get a ratio that would be a compromise between the two riding environments. Maybe keeping the front sprocket at the stock 16-tooth count, but go up two teeth on the back? Thoughts?

My 08 has -1 tooth up front and +2 in the rear. 15/43. It's fine for both track and street. I may try a 44 or 45 tooth rear sprocket next time since I still don't reach redline in 6th down the main strait at t-hill, and it would still probably be fine on the street as well.
I'm -1 on the front and thinking about +1 for the rear. I don't hit redline at TWS on the front straight so I have room to play with.
So far looks like the -1/+2 is winning. I was lucky to pick up a NIB 520 DID x-ring chain from the local Cycle Gear clearance shelf...looks like a set of sprockets is next! Thanks guys!
