I took a 10 mile ride to test it out. First gear is a little more useful. I shift into 2nd about 2/3 through an intersection instead of halfway. At 70-about 75 indicated, RPM went from 9000 to about 8400. And I can stay in each gear a little longer. It seems acceleration did not suffer enough to hurt anything. The only thing I don't like is I have to go faster to get out of the buzz zone(7,000-8,500RPM). I used to get up to 65 and it would go away. Now I have to stay above 70 for the engine to smooth out.
