Heck, try anything once right? Ninjas love revs, give it a shot.
I messed around with gearing quite a bit on my SV and the only real advantage I could find was that I could nail the desired rpm in one particular turn of my riding route when I went up 2 in the rear. I messed with -1 front +3+2 rear and variations on that and now I'm all stock. I found it to be useful in a track environment where you may be deciding between two gears and limited on ground clearance given your lean angle, but for the street I couldn't see it beyond dropping my revs in 6th at highway speeds. Now I can see that Suzuki got it right when I'm doing 75 in 6th and have loads of passing power. When I was up a tooth on the front I felt the need to drop to 5th.
