Sorry no pics but HOLY SHNIKEYS what an improvement!

I honestly did not expect this much of a low end change, so glad I had this done! As I take the stock parts and load them into my backpack for the ride home, I couldn't help but think I must've shed a couple of pounds with the new kit too because the bag felt heavier on the way out than it did in the way in.

All I can say is that if you want a relatively cheap performance mod that makes a VERY noticeable difference than you want this.

I got the 41/15 Superlite sprockets with gold hub and DID ZVM-X gold street chain, too bad I got stuck in a downpour and bumper to bumper traffic on the way home, now she needs a bath.:D

Btw, a big thanks to Trauma for the referral to kyle racing, otherwise I likely wouldn't be ear to ear right now.

I got that too.

Spins up quicker with the lighter sprocket & 520 chain. I can't even begin to describe the evil beast its become, combined with the sound from that exhaust its a handful!
 
When you write these reports about the sprocket change effects are you comparing 39 rear to 41 rear sprocket or are these positive effects because of lighter chain/sprocket?

I already have the stock 41 rear sprocket because the bike is 2013 model. Would I see a big change doing the 520 conversion with lighter sprockets?

Does 2013 have 41T as standard?

Sorry I can't tell you how much difference is the weight and how much the extra teeth?

That is the way my bike was delivered and the French dealer told 41T it is now standard on new bikes.
 
Ducati was sneaky, they introduced it as a suggested performance mod, ends up it's practically a recall we paid for! :)
