My CSR does have the stock sprockets. I bought a 14 tooth sprocket to replace it but haven't got around to changing it yet. I did have a 1980 650 LTD for a demo back in the day and I added one tooth on the front sprocket, made the engine a lot less busy going down the road. If at some point in the future I get real ambitious I may pop a 6 speed from a 550 into it. Steel tells me it is a drop in swap and I have a couple of 550 trannies laying around.
