finally wore out the stock rear sprocket, at 16,500 miles. Ordered a 41 and a stock 43 in steel through my yamaha dealer for a XT600EE for less than $45.
Installed the 41 last night, I like it alot. at 70mph, it is still not in the uncomfortable RPM range. it did loose a little grunt, but it is like havint a 6th gear.

So a 45T would give me those 2nd gear wheelies I'm looking for? :-D

probably.... dropping 1 tooth on the front is an easy way to get the spunk you want in 2nd.
