RE: should i say anything ?
I'd tell him.
Look at it this way - a very obscure way I might add: Say he getsused to the power and acceleration the way it is now, and for the next couple years he gains the confidence to upgrade. He starts thinking "Man I can handlea liter bike now after riding on this for a while."But in all reality he's making a bigger jump than he bargained for seeing as though he was riding an "underpowered" bike - if you know what I mean.

Prolly won't be an issue - but he could get a new set of OEM sprockets and chain and it could surprise him in a sticky situation...
Prolly won't happen, but yeah - he should know for that reason and that reason only. Just let him know it's gonna be a bit more torquy once he puts a 43 toother in the rear.
Havoc, you're good people!

doesnt matter, he probably wouldnt know what it meant when you told him anyway, just let it go.

For sure, I would tell him just for sake of when he goes to order replacement parts. If he's perfectly happy with the way things are and ends up ordering a replacement sprocket in a year or two ( I dunno how worn the one on it is) , and gets a stock one the pure hassle of having to take it back and reorder would be enough to agitate me. Then again I would probably count the teeth before I ordered a part for a bike that had a previous owner....eh, tell him. I can tell it's something you'd feel good to have gotten off your chest.
