I can confirm this.
Whilst I have a 900, the swingarm/sprocket positioning are the same and I originally fitted a 15/41 combination as I thought it might be an improvement. However it left me looking for a 7th gear as I found it too 'buzzy'.
I went back to the standard setup of 15/39 but left the 100 link chain that I had fitted with the 15/41 setup as I wanted to try the the longest possible wheelbase, but it was right at the end of the adjusters with the chain still a bit loose so I changed to 98 links which fits perfectly with the 15/41 combo.
Actually if you are continually looking for 6th gear, you could always fit one - my understanding is that a 6-speed box will fit in the 'small block' casing? t'would be a fairly major job though...
