Gearing Linked to Autoblipper?

Reason I ask is because I recently discovered the 2015 1299S I bought used in 2017 with 1700 miles on it had an aftermarket 14 tooth front sprocket, while the rear was the stock 39 tooth. Prior to the 520 conversion I did a couple of weeks ago I was having autoblipper issues, where it would work sometimes, but it was clunky at times or it took 3-4 tries to get it to work. It was so clunky I disabled it at the track... unreliable at best.

Well, my bike appeared to be bone stock when I got it so I assumed the sprockets were factory gearing as well, and went ahead and ordered the 520 conversion using the stock gearing. I realized the bone stock assumption was wrong because I pulled off an aftermarket 14 tooth. I put the 15 tooth on and went riding because it was super nice out and after a short while I realized my autoblipper is back to working as it should - smooth and reliable! This past Sunday I rode it 250 miles and all was well... have a new appreciation for the bike with a functioning autoblipper! I have zero idea how sprocket size would be linked to the issue and I'm wondering if some of you guys might? It's beginning to bother me, haha.
 
that's interesting, somebody else said they had the exact same thing happen to them.

Sounds strange !!!
If you change the gearing, you also change the rpm at the same speed, that may effect the Blipper, but adjusting the shift times should solve the problem (if that is possible on a 1299)

At Gearing Commander - Motorcycle Speed and Drive Train Calculator v7 you can see how much a gearing change, changes the speed/rpm
