Taller Sprocket

Introduction
This is the same idea as swapping in a taller top gear or final drive in a car or truck transmission, except that on a motorcycle, it's far easier to do and much less expensive.

Swapping to a smaller rear sprocket is a commonly practiced mod to lower RPM and get better fuel economy in top gear cruising.
