You read ALL the messages posted here about that and you STILL have to ask ?? I thought we had pretty well covered every possible aspect of the subject. :roll:
Your assumption about top end vs torque at the low end would be right........except the little engine doesn't have the raw HP to gain anything on the top end; in fact, you probably lose a little bit.
Dupo is right on. A few situations, however, where you probably don't want to change.....because of the HP deficiency at the top end: You are a VERY big person ~300 pounds. You ride 2 up a lot where the total is 300 or more; same if you travel with heavy gear. You NEED to ride on freeways or interstates. You live in an area where there are a LOT of steep hills. If any of those describes YOU, then you probably want to leave it alone because a 16T front makes it a little more "sluggish" in top gear.
ALL of this, and more, is already on here in other message threads. Maybe you should search again ??
