Running 17/40 here as well.
It always seemed to be geared to the moon before and I found myself cruizin' the highway in 5th, then eventually realizing there was another gear in the box. Makes it easier to ride everywhere I think, and less slipping in first while in traffic.
I have a nifty little Excel spreadsheet that figures out all kinds of neat gearing stuff for you. Just plunk in your ratios and it tells you speeds in gears and lots of other non-sensical crap. Pretty little graphs are created too! I will attach it here for anyone who is interested. It has stock TLs ratios in it now, but you can change any value you like to suit your application.If it ain't broke, lighten it.

2 teeth up in the rear isnt going to make it rrazy, always wanting to lift the front, but it does add just a tad more "torque" for those full hammer corner exits
