I am now running an 18 tooth front sprocket and 37 tooth rear with the standard chain. The 18t front has only been on 2 days and I have covered 507km with it. I like the feel of it as it has given the bike much longer legs. It was not a big step for me this time as I have been running 17/37 for about 12 months but it is a lot different to standard gearing. At an indicated 100kph/62mph I now show 4250 rpm. When new/standard it was 4900 at the same speed. The part number is JT565.18  and I got it on Amazon. It does not have the collar needed for the later bikes (mine is a K9) but I have just used two 26mm ID aluminium (aluminum to you guys) sump plug washers and it works a treat. They have stock. It cost me $22 including freight to Melbourne, Australia.
