I am considering going down some teeth. I am averaging 20mpg with highway commuting.. I cruise around 85mph, so..
I change the rear sprocket from 45 to 41.
At 85 mph the rpm is 550 lower. Suites me fine.
The 5th gear is now as the previous 6th gear.

That is really bad fuel economy. I "crash" down to 45MPG when I average 80 on the interstates. Normally I'm averaging 54MPG when I'm going a more reasonable 60-70MPH.

Howdy!
I would not say the 14 tooth make is any less twitchy but you could ride it and judge for yourself. I put the 14 tooth on for more bottom end and a better launch off the line which it seems to have done. I avoid the highway at all costs but the RMS are noticeably more at say 80 mph but not disgusting IMO.

I've noticed the 5-6% increase in the displayed speed on the speedometer. The dealer spoke with their Ducati tech and was told that it cannot be adjusted. Has anyone figured out a combination of changing gears and tires that can accommodate for the 5-6%?
You would need to change tires if you wish to accomplish that. No combination of gears will ever adjust your speedometer reading. I suspect that it reads the speed off of the CANbus from the ABS system.
