I didn't dare to test WOT on 1 to 3 today, have been swimming and cutting branches in the garden so the strenght and balance is not perfect as needed
I guess it will be a wheelie monster on lower gears 
The engine feels smoother due to the 7% higher rpm and I could also feel that the wheel base has decreased by the bike being more flickable.

I have gone +4 on the rear and by all means it makes for a much funner ride and who really needs to go 186

Well said, thanks. The new gearing will be evaluated on lower gears today on my reference track (road to work..) and the findings will be posted.
I went up in tire height and have a +3 rear sprocket. The bike is smoother in all gears and doesnt feel like it is lugging. Yes, the damn thing puts the front in the air quickly when compared too stock. 3rd comes up and so does 4th when you get to the top of the rev range! 
1st and 2nd ....well you can guess that on. The bike seems to be more nimble too with the shorter wheel base and taller height in the rear from the tire.

The 46T sprocket was further tested today. I can't say anything else than being very happy with it. The bike is super-strong on lower gears and it pulls like a freight train also on 6th at any speed. The pulling power on 6th is almost as good as 3rd or 4th on a light Gixxer 1000 -03.
It will take some time to get use to this brutal power; it is easy to slide the rear etc. when the tyres are not fully warmed up. But this is also exactly what I want, a bike that is stronger in any situation than needed. I would be surprised if I’ll meet anything on the road that accelerates as hard as the Busa is doing now.
The bike revs significantly (7%) more and even though it still revs less at e.g. 60 mph than any modern sport-bike, it is initially slightly annoying, but something I’ll get used to in a day or two.

Are asking the difference between going up or down on either front or rear?
Take the rear teeth number and divide by the front. The answer will tell you how many front teeth equal the rear. Meaning going up one is like taking away 3 from the rear. Going down on the front is equal to going up in the back.
If you are looking for top end speed up in the front down in the back
Acceleration down in the front up in the back.

If you put 46T rear I suggest you leave the front sprocket stock (18T), or you may wish the bike had a 7th gear.
