I would tend to think the alterations you are making to your final drive would have the same effect, and that your taller first gear would make for basically the same clutch behavior. I think with the overall massive (in my eyes) change that it made for my clutch activation I would not want to go much farther towards making it harder to take-off. It doesn't want to start up a hill very well, but it's tolerable. I just try to avoid stopping on hills.

Given the option, I'd wish for all 8 of the weights to be around 26 grams, and were prevented from moving outward until the clutch locked up. That would really be the best of both worlds.

Though if I had an infinite amount of money, and no desire to rid myself of oil consumption, I'd probably vetter-ize and re-gear a BMW G 650 Xcountry. Ahh dreams...
