It kinda depends on what kind of riding you do with it.

As said, depends on your riding style etc.

Take a look at this thread, it might give you a clue..

17/(40,41,42).  Factory stock is a good compromise.  :)

Feels like an over drive compared to the stock 17/40.
I no longer keep looking for "6th".

Considering the stock gearing on the '84 is 17/42, anything with a 18 tooth countersprocket with the back sprocket in the range of 41/40/39 is an improvement.

I put a 18 on the front and the rear had a 41, like it much better, not searching for a 6th gear and still has plenty of punch, but my son's 86 1100 gix-er pulls away in 3rd 4th and 5th on a roll on, guess I can't have both.

 18/38 is great for highway and long distance riding without any problem in stop and go traffic. Smooths out the power delivery.  Keeps RPM's down compared to stock on highway.
