hi, i got a 2002 suzuki bandit 600 and i want to alter the gearing to make it rev less

You always lose off the line power when gearing up, but you probably won't notice much with just two teeth less on rear. My 1979 750 has 15 on front sprocket and 38 on rear. You have to decide want you want, more torque or more speed.
