I did so on my Transalp befor I bought my @. It did not raise the maximum speed
and did not lower the fuel consumption at all. It did at least lower the rews
at flank speed of about 800 U/min. I would do it once more, but it is not
recommended if you go on offroad ways because the first gear is "too long"
then.

take care - Marcello.
