+1 on the front equals -3 on the back.
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

14/15 * 45/41 = 1.024, so the answer is 2.4% more torque.  It would be an almost pointless change.

than bigger in the back is better for you, but why put stock up front? If your trying to get more torque applied, keep the 14 and go bigger on the back it would be a monster at take off and you'll have to shift a lot sooner. but if that is what you want then go for it. I think JT sprockets web has a chain size calculator.

To increase torque and acceleration, you just want to be reducing in the front, and increasing on the back, then.  If you leave your 14T on the front, and go 45 on the rear, you'll have almost 10% more torque than you have now with the 14/41.  14/45 would be 30% more torque than stock.

Stock is 16,  right?
