Nothing mate. I'm sort of tempted to keep her and maybe increase rear sprocket x2 teeth.

I went 1 down on front of my 675, found it was pretty much perfect for the road, have you already done this & you're thinking of 2 more on rear to gear it lower again?
If not just drop 1 tooth on front, easier & cheaper.

Already dropped on the front, just looking at the +2, shouldn't need a new chain. However working out the extra acceleration doesn't look worth to, but I could have it wrong.

As little as plus 1 on rear has an effect, I change race bike all the time depending on track, plus 2 will make a noticeable difference.

So keep the -1 on the front and add a +2 on the rear? Any idea what gains there will be?

Not particularly recommending that as a gearing option for the road, but it would give you more acceleration at the expense of top end, higher cruising revs etc, also speedo accuracy is affected if gearbox driven speedo.
There are many similar sites that do the same but try below to give you an idea.

I used that and it didn't make it clear on 0-60 0-100 gains. Might lose more bodyweight lol

I like cheese pasties.
I guess it's a slippery slope towards cheese, leek & potato pies

Yep indeed Jez, I like to think of a cheese pastie as nothing short of a Gateway Pie! leading to the more righteous full on Vegan Hollier than thou brigade, before you know it you'll be eating nut roasts & singing kumbaya ....I like cheese pasties.

Be strong @DD67 resist & don't surrender to the cheese pasty, it's just the start of it!
197bhpAswell as everything else I've done to scarlet, I've decided to go balls out and get a igt filter and get rid of the air box.
Dyno and custom remap booked in for Thursday coming.
Place your bets on what power she makes, the winner gets a meat free pie of your choice.

I read if as "free meat pie"You don't like meat free pies I take it
Now I know it's a meat free pie on offer. I'd like to amend my guess to 497bhp.
I've had a great idea.
Why don't you ram it into a car & claim on the insurance.
No pi$$ing about advertising it or dealing with tyre kickers
You could post a selfie of yourself in the hospital & we could rip the pi$$ about all your chins.
It works for me mate
