Has anyone tried a 40 tooth rear sprocket?

No harm intended.

weirdly enough, from reading all of this its leading me to think that one could squeeze a little more top end speed with a 14t front sprocket. Would this be an incorrect asumption?

Bad move. A 14t sprocket would make 1st & 2ND pretty much useless & it could over rev in 5Th causing engine failure.

Top end is usually accomplished with larger than stock front and smaller than stock rear sprockets.

I think you would be prone to over-rev in ALL the gears.

True, assuming that your engine has enough horsepower to handle the higher gearing.......which the GZ really doesn't.....so you get no gain in top end or actually a slight loss.

aww dammit. Here I was thinking that I may be able to ride comfortably on freeways without having the throttle wide open the whole time to maintain speed..... :drool:
