Default Using a larger front sprocket--Suzuki Marauder

Hi all,

Are there any Marauder owners here with a 17 tooth front sprocket? (As oppsed to the stock 15 tooth.) Everyone at the MIG forum (a Delphi forum) says this is highly recommended to reduce RPMs at highway speeds, but I thought I'd get another forum's opinion as well. Is there any decrease in acceleration, or other performance factors (assumed all else is stock)?

Much thanks,

Jesse
