Just ride it for now, try to break it in by the weekend, then maybe order the Stage 1 cam next week.

Good to hear you like it. I put the 16T on the front and definitely like that change, but still it runs a little high in the RPMs, and as you said, 1st is sort of useless but it doesn't like starting in 2nd. I am still stock on the jetting, so in 5th it sometimes has some trouble on the hills. I am worried that going down on the rear sprocket will hurt that even more. Maybe if I can sort out the carb a bit and find a bit more power I will try it.

Dropping even more teeth on the rear sprocket might make first gear more useable. As it is, you have two gears that aren't workable right now.

I thought I read some where that Andrew has got his hands on one of the 44 tooth rear sprockets, any idea if he's made any progress with it?

I can definitely say that it's NOT flat in 5th gear with the 16/44. There's plenty more to screw on with the setup I have now, but I'm still taking it easy due to break-in. Being you have the XF with the smaller rear tire, I'd gamble on the 42 tooth sprocket for 20.00. Worth a try. Here she is in finished form, finally. I can say that I can't be happier with my Q XP now. It just runs better with every mile!  I think I'm finally done for now......until she's broken in. Then I'm seriously thinking about the Stage 1 cam.
