DO NOT PURCHASE DIRECTLY, first go to Bajaj SVC, try getting hold of an old front sprocket and try fitting it first... If it fits ok, purchase a new one and you're good to go.
Mostly, the service center sells a kit together and this kit (2 sprockets+chain) combined kit may get a little expensive... Maybe between Rs. 1200-1500 or so.
One way is to give the 36/37 tooth rear sprocket to someone else and share the cost... Another way is to go to a local market and ask for genuine Rolon sprocket and tell them to sell it individually.
Maybe if you offer Rs. 700 or so, they might agree to take the risk of keeping the chain and rear spr... that is, if they can sell it.
There are no adverse effects of overgearing if done properly and if the new kits fit ok.
The petrol engine is accustomed to carry loads, and in India we even overburden it and ride upwards on a slope, nothing happens.
Plus, if you ever feel a gear is too high, just shift a gear down, its the same thing technically.
Just make sure the 1st gear doesn't turn out too tall to pull in some situations. (which it shouldn't, on this setup. Read on...)
You're just doing a small change, no big deal. 45/13 is 3.461 and your new setup is 45/14 which is 3.214. Little overgeared.
No big deal, but it will be noticeable. Do let me know how it turns out.
NOTE: Skip trying for the FZ25 front, 15T would be a bit heavy unless you've modified the engine for more power...
