I’m on -1 +2 and it seems just right. Definitely makes for a lighter front end, on the flip side I’m a bit more apprehensive of damp patches and turning out of junctions now Confused

Thanks im going to try 15 front sprocket first its cheaper option if I change the rear to a bigger sprocket  Chances are I will have to change the chain as well the bike just had  new chain and sprockets just before I  Purchased it and I've only done about 70 miles on them

Think my Mille is -2 / +2  and it fires out of corners and makes for easier town riding. Admittedly probably not ideal for motorway plodding though.
