Instead of what someone told you, how about figuring it out for yourself. Find a conversion table online. The -1, +2 is about a 10 percent change. That means if your top speed was 150, your new top speed is 135. If your cruising rpm was 5,000, your new cruising rpm for the same speed is 5,500. If your mpg was 40, your new one will be 36. Most speedos read 10 percent more right from the factory. So 60 on the dial is really 54 mph. Another 10 percent would be 48 mph when the speedo reads 60. And you think your Gixxer could loop it before, with the -1, +2, well, I don't have to tell you.
