From the 2005 S2R Manual

15 Front
42 Rear
104 Link 520 chain.

For what it's worth Chris at Ca-Cycleworks recommended going up 1 on the rear as opposed to down 1 on the front.  It's more responsive since and I'm happy there.  I can't imagine the pull out of 1st you'd get by going +3 on the rear.


going up 3t on the rea is ~= to going down 1t on the front sprocket.

I get the math (.333 ratio) just commenting that even a little change down was noticeable (from  .357 to .349) on the low end.  Haven't noticed much in 5th and 6th.

I'm with Nutts on this one. I've tried em all and think the 14/43 is best all round.
