I wouldn't go that big on the front sprocket unless the rear is 45 teeth or more. If your engine is not in superb running condition, or unless you drive very long periods at cruising speeds above 70mph, I think it's a complete waste of time and you'll be disappointed.

best to play with the rear sprocket that front sprocket can cause to many issues with the output shafts

You can get one here WEMOTO.

As others have said it will be too high geared with the original rear sprocket.

from what i can gather standard supermoto runs

15 front 43 rear which is 2.86 drive ratio

i currently have 15 front 45 rear which is 3.0

not wanting to alter the chain, and take links out i was going to go for

16 front 45 rear which would be.. 2.81 drive ratio which is near to stock... what do you think of this...

i was happy with 2.8 standard jjust when i changed the chain i put a different rear sprocket on...to see what it was like i just thought it would be easier to change the front...

opinions please

it may be the speed limits where i live,, but even when years ago i rode way faster than i should have...
i found german bikes always seemed geared a bit tall ( ie you had to go tooooo fast to get them up on the power band

and here 5 wire barb wire fences are often located where you leave the road... :smt026

Should be OK with the 45 rear sprocket and as you say no need to alter the chain, try it. :)
