First thing you need to do is service your secondary and put TS/slippery washers in it and you should do it before its time for your first service. Yamaha's oem grease is definitely not up to spec. You can add a 0.5-1mm shim to your primary. This will make up for the 4% loss in gearing and some of the added tire weight.

Oh, I didn't know they came with 29" stock and you are correct. I need to sleep at night I guess lol. It is 4% loss per 1 inch you increase in tire diameter. Yes, 8-12% loss in gearing is not something to be ignored. You can't just slap big tires on Yamahas and think there won't be consequences.
