I'm thinking of going with a 14T from a 16T. The guys from the GSTwins ( where everyone has the same bike ) forum say it is pretty easy to do and not only gives you more power by changing the ratios a bit but it also raises the top speed of the bike since the bike is limited by power and not by RPMs. ( can't wait to get my FZ1 )

$15 and shipping, and takes roughly 15-20 min to install... the only downside is that I would lose 5-10 miles per gallon roughly on commuting but... meh I dun care.
