I just bought a 2013 F700GS, love the ride, but was thinking about changing the gearing to get a little more low end torque. It has been recommended to change the front sprocket to a 16T....just looking for comments and feedback on others who may have made any changes to the gearing. I am not a heavy offroad rider, but used to own a F650 single that was like a billy goat. Feedback welcome C

I've done both on my 09 800gs. Gearing for more torque and RPM just seemed to make the bike really vibrate at higher highway speeds. I didn't notice any real difference in acceleration or pulling power on steep hills in the Cascades where I have been busy exploring the off road possibilities . I have gone back to the factory tooth numbers.
