owners or riders of 400ex 2005. About the new gear ratios

[onlyquad]

The 400ex 2005 have new gear ratios. Ok.
With this new gear ratios, compared with the previous 400ex,
What do you feel in different gears: + torque, - torque, +velocity - velocity ????? What?
What do you think about this new perfomance?
PD. Excuse for my bad english.

I ride a yfz 450, but just bought the wife a 05 400ex. My brothers have o4 400ex's. I know the countersprocket is a 14 tooth now instead of a 15, but I am still gonna go down to a 13 for my wifes. They feel about the same real smooth. The torque in first is a lot better, but 2nd-5th seem taller. She was in mostly 2nd gear through most of the dunes. Keep in mind hers is completely stock too, but all in all it is just as good, if not better than the 04's. I like the reverse for sure.
