Hi, couldn't find this in another topic - but does anyone have any feedback after having done this?

Anyone tried? What were the cons?

I'm keen to try it to try lower the ludicrously tall first gear, and not have to feather the clutch as much in the tight stuff. I use my bike for Cape Town commuting Mon-Fri then some dirt on weekends, so I'm not too fussed about losing some top end. My E07 front starts to weave at 160 in any case

When changing the front, do you have to change the chain and rear too, or can just one be done?
