@superbikecoach man you should've bought a kawasaki. I dont think youre technically gaining what you think you have..is there any video of these seconds you're gaining from the sprocket upgrade on your sp? Because technically there's a very limited amount of rear sprockets to choose from, and the 520 that comes stock on the R is already gold. Why don't you match what's installed on the SP for your use?

10 seconds for 1 sprocket tooth upgrade is GP territory if that's the only item change on a bike
 
OMG! This is NOT what I said. I did not say you gain 10 seconds. I said if you generally 10 seconds (or whatever) slower per lap, then sprocket ratios are not your issue. Try understanding this a little harder.
Riding on a track or let's say racing, is constant acceleration and one time top speed. That is depending on the longest straight, which varies from track to track. That's how to set the final ratio on front and rear. In racing we even have different transmission gears to find ideal torque ranges on specific sectors. I for sure don't need a Kawasaki to understand things, so please don't give me this crap.
 
I think Ducati has put exactly what you've said into a lot of thought, which is why the V4R has such aggressive internal gearing up to 16.5k. Youre correct you dont find yourself sitting in the higher end on straights, it's more of the short sprints going through lower to mid gears. I think that's why they recommend keeping the stock 520 because the transmission eats through anything, at the broad range of the 6 gears. A single sprocket for a specific sector is not going to outweigh what the engine is already capable enough, and also depending of the rider knowing how to manage the centrifugal torque the bike produces at high rpm. That's what I think negates the rear sprocket changes, it seems like marginal performance gain if any. I see the rear assembly as something to make more lightweight as a rotating assembly with less mass, the stock gearing and transmission has had a lot already put into it

Alright son. I give up on you
 
Gearing really is the next level on set up for a particular track… eg

I’ve done jerez and portimao in the last couple of months, tge gearing for Jerez is wrong for portimao and do noticeable once you think about it!

Let's not try any harder. He seem to live in his own world
