Backwards, the 5th gen comes with a 17 tooth stock, the 6th gen comes with a 16 tooth stock. They are interchangable.

So an 02 has a 16 tooth front ?
I went to my local dealer and tried to get a -1 tooth from stock and he couldn't find one ,so where would I get one prefure one in Canada our dollar isn't the best and has anyone like the change if they have done it ,is it worth it ?

'02 OEM should have 16 teeth. Check the forums, there have been at least two very long threads on this in the last couple weeks.

Nice avatar.

ya I did..ordered it from sprocket specialist online at the time...made a noticeable diff on both my 05 (16 to 15)and my 00 (17 to 16)... My 05 then kept up with the stock 00 with the 15 on it and better drivability slow in town.. I now also also use 1980-82..cb11-900f-750f sprockets ..same and plentiful. Enjoy
