Does anyone know what a stock 98-99 ZX6R has for a back sprocket (amount of teeth)?

I have a '96 zx6r, and the speedo cable is attached to the front axle. Why would changing the sprockets up or down change the speedometer reading if it's mounted on the front wheel?
When I bought my bike, the guy who sold it to me told me that he changed the front sprocket to a smaller one, but didn't say how small. The back one is a 42, and looks relatively new. Guess that's why the wheelies are so easy
On the downside though, My bike's top speed is around 140mph, right before the tach starts to redline.[V] I know that 140 is still pretty damned fast, but on certain roads and parts of the highway, I could feasibly max the speedo out (170mph). I would probably only do that once, though, just to see what it feels like. At 140, my helmet tries to come off my head, and the strap chokes the hell out of me. Oh well. On the plus side, with my gearing so damned low, I can hit ninety in what seems like three seconds

Its all off the speed sensor, you know that little black plug with wire off the front sprocket cover.... I just spliced the yellow box in to fix my error for sprocket changes.

You can get the yellow box from www.blackrobotics.com It taps into the speed sensor and sends the correct info to the speedo.
Hey spuko, how you like the yellow box?
Let Saddam come and play!

"i think maybe you should learn how to tuck in tighter under the windshield and angle your head down, so the wind flows over your helmet instead of flat into the visor."
Well, when I'm at speed and tucked in, my chin damn near is resting on the gas tank. can't get much lower than that! I guess I nees a windshield that is more bubbled in front.
