Slightly stunts the acceleration but also lowers the revs when at cruising speeds so if anything even more economical , the larger front sprocket should also give the chain an easier time with regards to wear rate
17 tooth front sprocket

Agreed, 17 tooth does stunt the acceleration but it gives it a nice long legged feel.
I've put a 15 tooth on mine for offroading -- really nippy now but the revs are slightly higher. Indicated 75 mph (70mph on the GPS) is at 5000rpm.
Speedo doesn't seem to be affected...i assume it gets its info from the rear wheel sensor.

That's spot on and I think it rides 100% better for road work.
Just tried to order the JTF704RB from wemoto and they said they don't stock it, just the plain 704
Seems worth getting the RB from comments above

Might be worth cross referencing against other bikes/ other suppliers -- the packaging on the one I bought was labelled for an aprilia.
The rear hub on my 13 plate F800GS has the 10mm studs. I believe the stud size changed with the 2012 model.
Someone on the phone said they didn't have it, an email got a better result

I’ve just fitted the JT704RB.17 to my 2016 800GSA and just thought I’d confirm the other comments in this thread. I’m surprised how much more relaxed and smooth the bike feels to ride Best £15 I’ve spent!

Earlier than that. Our 2010 has the 10mm studs.
