Gearing
Got a Streetfighter S on Saturday.
Need to get a 14t sprocket on quickly.
Anyone put a 40t on the back with the 14t?
Is this combo good for a Streetfighter?
At 300KM the clutch fluid reservoir started to ooze fluid.
At 350KM same thing started with the brake, but much less fluid coming out.
Otherwise an excellent bike.

there are a couple of good discussions about gearing in the FAQ.

I did the 14t right off and later changed the rear up to a 39t. So far I love the lower ratio, as I'm able to use more of the engine below 100mph.
The gearing commander is a great tool for studying gear changes:

Yes (but in the Australian vernacular....not the UK kind)
And no pics. I'm a "professional" so I like to keep my hobbies and lifestyle separate from what my clients and students can google about me on the net....sorry...
