Z900 2018 Rear Sprocket 44T 520 pitch

[MZ900]

will the bike wheelie with rear 41?

It will in second easily.    I'm not riding one in third because I'm practically a senior citizen and my neighbors already think I'm crazy.

so basically its even better set up than 16/44 ?  you got the same torque due front 15, and longer gearing due 41 back?

It is essentially the same gearing as the 16/44.    There is a 20-50 rpm difference between 15/41 & 16/44,  depending on the gear, but I doubt anyone could tell in a back-to-back ride.      The taller gearing makes the most subjective difference in first & second gear for me, although depending on where you ride and what speed you take corners, it may change your preferred gearing for exits on corners.    First gear is much more usable and you don't feel like you need to feather the clutch from stop to get it moving.     I definitely prefer it over stock gearing.
